Well according to safety it was a minor incident with just paint transfer. I can only speak on my incident and my conversations with safety.. As of today the indcent doesn't appear on my DAC or PSP.. The point of my message was you are still hireable. Don't stay OTR if you don't want to. Look local and apply local if that's what you want todo.. Don't assume you're not hireable

Your mistake may be looking at purely local companies. I have a local, home every day job with a mid-sized (1,000ish trucks) carrier that runs mainly east of the Mississippi. In Richmond, there are about 20 drives that are home every, or almost every night. My account has 6 drivers, 3 of us are purely local serving as yard jockeys or shuttle drivers for a cardboard plant, and 3 are regional drivers that run loads out of the plant. There is another local account with 10 local home every night drivers that run 8 times a day from Richmond to Colonial Heights and back, and finally, there are 4 or 5 drivers that do local pick ups and deliveries.
As long as the accident you had wasn't a DOT recordable preventable accident, you would meet the basic requirements to be hired by the carrier with a year of experience. As of this moment, there are no local jobs available in Richmond, but I do know that on the account I'm on, there is a strong possibility of one of the local and/or one of the regional drivers leaving in the next few months. -
Hey sazook, did not know you responded to my thread until now. thanks for the info. i dont know if they put it on my dac as preventable or non, but i will find out. safety did say it will go on my driving record, because i damaged the truck. as far as i see it, it was preventable, so i guess i will have to go another year here at prime, hopefully no more accidents.

The issue wouldn't be a preventable accident, but a DOT Recordable preventable accident, which, reading back about your accident, it should not be.
cwc Thanks this. -
