24m here. I have all my endorsements and can't find a job. I've tried all the mega carriers and pretty much all of them said no. Last year in july, I accidentally rear ended a car in my personal car. No injuries, and I got the ticket reduced to 1 point, but that pretty much closed off all mega jobs. That's the only thing on my mvr. Here's a list of the ones that said no:
Swift: Deemed "not eligible for rehire". I worked there for a few months in 2023 and didn't like the trainer, so I quit.
Schneider: Denied
Us Xpress: Need 6 months of experience
Melton: Denied
TMC: Denied
Cr England: No positions in my area (michigan)
CRST: Denied
Werner: Wants me to wait until at least a year after the accident, which will be in July. Maybe I'll try again with them in a few months
Stevens transport: Same as werner
Roehl: Said they can't hire me as I'm not a student, and I need at least a year of experience.
Maverick: Denied
Cypress Truck Lines: Ghosted, then denied
Veriha Trucking: Denied after leading me on for weeks
May trucking: Ghosted
Heartland Express: Denied
Gypsum Express: Don't remember, it was months ago. I think I was denied
Prime Inc: Need 6 months of otr experience they said
Covenant Transport: I'm not doing teams
Hogan Transport: Ghosted
Western Express: Only flatbed positions in my area. I declined.
Knight Transport: Back in 2023 I went to orientation, but was declined even though back then my mvr was clean
Pepsico: No cdl jobs in my area
Sysco: applied several times, ghosted
Denied by every mega carrier

Have you seen your DAC?
austinmike and tscottme Thank this. -
Hitting from the rear will disqualify you from all but the worst companies. You can apply at a less than steller firm, change careers but keep cdl active by staying current on dot physical and try again in a year or so if you like, or try us army 88M program. After four years of army service and a few letters of recommendation you may get a chance a tmc or others.

Where is your location?

You have a horrible work history. You're fortunate even Western Express offered a job.

How bad is my mvr?FullMetalJacket and Lonesome Thank this. -
Just being honest. Hitting from rear is a big hit. My insurance company would not accept you. -They are a good company and are a lil more stringent than a budget insurance company. When a victim gets hit from the rear by a semi it’s almost always a lawsuit with a payout. Folks work hard to build a business and don’t want to loose it. Yes, you have a terrible record. -by type of accident as a commercial driver. You can move on from this just be patient.
MSWS Thanks this. -
You're 24 which is barely hireable as it is. Throw in your accident and I'm surprised even Western Express would have you. My advice is to start watching Youtube videos on how to tarp and take what you can get.
Tb0n3, ElmerFudpucker, Bean Jr. and 3 others Thank this. -
Looks like you *might* have a shot with Werner and Stevens in July when the accident is 1 year old. I'd suggest if either gives you a chance just keep your mouth shut, grit it and bear it through the training part and then for another year or two. Or more, who knows maybe they turn out ok for longer term.
ducnut, Short Fuse EOD and JB7 Thank this.
