    Hey I’m a young driver out of Atlanta ga with about almost 2 years of driving with a lot of various big companies. Not the worst driving record or work history but definitely not the best.(just being honest) Mixture of some bad rookie decisions an some bad luck. Just looking for a company thatll take me to grow with. Is my CDL career over or can I still save my lisecne?

    What problems do you think you have, that your career may be over?
    What type trucking do you prefer?

    Give details & dates on preventable & non-preventable. There's 2nd chance companies that will probably hire you.

    The preventable accident I had was when I hit someone who was illegally parked. The back of my dot bumper scrapped the front of his front bumper while I tried to go around. No tickets or citations were issued to me but it was still a dot reportable accident. The non preventable happened when my Qualcomm routed me through a residential area so I had to call a wrecker to come help me make a turn. Once again no tickets or citations were issued. But it was a dot reportable.

    If that's all you have, there's plenty of companies that will hire you.
    Are you driving now or are you unemployed?
