    Both are second chance companies and are much more lenient with your past.

    Yeah, indirectly. When you get up to 10 posts, I think, we can PM eachother.

    Following this thread as I am in a similar situation. Slid on ice, banged into a ditch. Empty trailer. Terminated for loss of control. Hope the job search is going well. I'll be starting my search tomorrow

    I wish you the best of luck.
    What you need to realize though, is that in most instances, it is not the companies themselves, but the insurance companies.
    If you have a fairly clean record, some companies would give you a second look. The insurance companies, don't care about your clean record in the past, all they care about is what you did.
    To them a roll over puts you into a higher risk category. They look at the probability that if you did it once, there is a mathematical probability that you will have another accident in the future.
    That's all they look at when figuring insurance costs, rates, coverage, etc..
