    Dude, No Matter if the company you apply to finds out or not you have to look at your self in the mirror... 3 Accidents in 5 months=Not enough COMMON sence to operate a CMV...

    Time for a new career choice...

    Not everyone can be Doctors, Not everyone can be policeman, and guess what not everyone can be Truck Drivers...


    An go ahead an lie on your application because when your 4th or 5th accident comes next month and you kill someone, believe me those accidents will be found out about... And Believe me you dont have to worry about getting another job cause you will be in Prison for a long long time...

    Sounds like one matters other 2 are nothing, I used to work for a guy that didn't believe in spot mirrors and mostly cab overs it bothered me so much, I rigged up a spot on a pair of vice grips, before that if one didn't see the power line's moving guess I made it.

    sounds like Drivers are having fun here. I was thinking what if he went across the border and became a Spanish trucker?

    I skipped about the last half of this thread.

    Number 2 - 3 do not classify as accidents. Probably at least 50% of the "old pro's" have hooked a king pin on a cross member at least once.
    Number 1, Im guessing you didnt have room to make a right turn and rubbed a stoplight off a pole, that classifies as an accident.

    You need to find yourself a job hauling grain or anything that gives you some hands on experience without having to deal with big city bs. Give yourself a chance to learn and get a feel for things.

    I called Sage Truck driving school years ago, and asked if they were looking for trainers, guy told me they pay 10.00 per hr, and 40 hrs a week. That phone conversation helped me to realize whats going on with new drivers and why we see all the mistakes.

    So you have 1 accident! Go find a small outfit, and get a job! If you play your cards right 3-5 yrs from now you will have a good job and DAC will not even be a factor.

    Jeeze I thought my non preventable (lady not having insurance and hitting my tandem tire while I was making a right turn and she tried to aggressively go around me) was the end of the world. You either a.) need to go with a very very small outfit. Or b.) re consider your career in trucking. Either way, it's not sounding good.

    i can help you with getting your company statements on your DAC with your side. Call the DAC company, contest them, the company will get back in time and say you did it. Then right your story and the companies will see that next to your reports. 3 is a high number good luck.

    Think it sounded like some combo of Jamacain and hill billy on the Mothers side and some Swahili from Poppa.

    Warning, serious and not follows.

    Still leaves plenty of potential problems, but I would at least think about reducing the size of the vehicle you are working in, all the way down to a van or small cube. Then if things go well, move up into a C class. Worth looking onto an ESL class (English as second language) because you're next mistake may be messing up a pickup because there was some miscommunication. Classes are usually offered for very little and from many places. English ain't the easiest of languages to learn, but it isn't the hardest.

    Might think about trucking related, but not driving. Making safety videos on you-tube or maybe a dispatcher. Don minute wait. bettin uddah companie pay mony for you to da competition infiltrate as gum works dispatcher. Much create Hazvoc.
