Am I unhireable now because of accidents?

Yeah.....u can....just gotta apply and youll be able to tell by the questions .....just be honest about the accident ....

 

Sure, you're fine.

 

As a matter of fact, some companies will take the fact that you had these incidents elsewhere as something you MOST likely wont repeat as youve MOST LIKELY learned from them......right?

 

Unless the incidents were particularly out of the "normal" range of commonality in relation to the industry , like say, you accidently dropped a 20 lb bag of your own feces on a car while trying to chuck it out the window at 68 mph.......etc...u should be quite alright...!

 

The 2 from the yard i would not put down. I would consider them incidents not accidents. You’ll get a mix bag of emotions here about that comment, but if it’s under $500 in damage it’s an incident not an accident. That’s how it was explained to me many years ago, when i was a wee little lad in my trucking carrer. I without question left any “incidents” of any and all applications.

1 minor accident and no tickets, equals a clean enough record that you’re not applying to bottom of the barrel 2nd chance company’s.

3 accidents, and enjoy working at Western Express.

Depends on how kuch experiance. Less than 1 year? It be hard. Over 1 year not so hard.

 

Those are not accidents.

Come back with accidents like I have had when I destroyed about 15K in store inventory after I got trapped the last time I had one.

Another was a really close call vs a running teen across my lane when he dropped under my front end as I executed a emergency stop. He's fine, but he will be sure to walk 5 minutes to the nice wide overpass next time.

There are accidents and there are nicky picky problems that create disposible drivers who cannot be hired. But don't worry about that. be truthful and move on. You will find work sooner or later.

 

They're cracking down a little, but have more than doubled their pay.
Probably find something on Craigslist. One former cabbie had a couple dozen of those incidents and found a real good job on Craigslist.
