    I drove for a small company out of North Dakota for 10 months, good company but I had 5 preventable incidents during that time. I take this job seriously but I did make some mistakes those first 10 months.

    My DAC is clean and I'm looking to get with another outfit, OTR. I live in Atlanta, GA and would like advice and recommendations on what company I should try for.

    Carolina Cargo in Rock Hill, South Carolina might give you a chance.
    Try to explain they were simple incidents.

    No fatalities. The worst one was I was in a tiny parking lot in Iowa and I got behind a truck backing up into a space. I thought I had given enough space but I was wrong. Minimal damage to both trucks, it bent up the driver side stairs. The second worst was when I was in roundabout in a dirt parking lot in ND and I busted a tire on a fire extinguisher.

    I don't want to do teams. Navajo offered me a run from Atlanta to Florida with one day off. Im considering them. 185 dollars a day. Is there any others you can think of? Any with at least .35 com?

    If Navajo offered you a job; take it. I'm surprised though with 5 preventables.

    better question would have been..."are YOU ok"...??

    simply no excuse for all those accidents/incidents.

    best of luck to you, but be forewarned, you are doomed to repeat history if you ain't learnt nuffin.....
