Currently in school for my CDL, two accidents on record, am I cooked?

I'd think you're going to be limited til June of next year. It'll be 3 years after your last accident so more companies might take a chance on you then. It all depends on the company's insurance. You're in school.no so might as well finish. Apply to any and every company and answer the questions according to what it's asking. Don't volunteer unnecessary info. Also, be prepared to take whatever you can get, because you gotta get your foot in the door and start getting experience.

 

Perhaps. It never hurts to be open to teams. Keep all options open.

Western Express is a 2nd chance company and also uses teams.
Explore a range of options to match your driving goals—including flatbed, dry van, regional, over the road, team, and one of the industry’s best Lease-To-Own programs.

 

It's a company that might hire you. Despite their reputation, it's better than nothing. Not only that, they're a reputable company, which can give you the most valuable tool in trucking: experience.

 

Looks great when you're unemployed.
Same reputation when I worked there years ago and I did just fine.

 

Western Express had a bad reputation when I worked there in 2010. Stayed there a year. Western Express was far from the worst job I've ever had, CDL or non-CDL. I actually had a lot of fun when I worked there. Made some good money. I think it's all about what you put into it. Sure, the cpm was low, but they made up for it with a lot of miles. I did flatbed and ran everywhere, cross country. I feel like in order to be successful in this industry, you'll have to learn to like the taste of ####. In other words, every company has BS from time to time, some more than others. Don't listen to the blow hards that tell you to raise hell over every little situation. They have the power to make your life a living hell. You'll need to have tremendous flexibility, especially your first year, or if your record is a little jacked. Whichever company you get on with, keep your head down, run the miles, don't pay any attention to reviews or "big talking" drivers. Pay attention to the one that pays you, figure out how their system, how they like to do business and make it work for you.

First things first....you gotta get through school. Focus on that for now. 1 step at a time.

 

I doubt insurance companies have different requirements for team drivers than solo drivers. Teams means you are driving solo with a co-driver sleeping in back, not driving with a co-driver supervising your driving from the passenger seat.
