I am an O/O and was recently let go from QC for a bad driving record, three accidents that were not my fault but they still held it against me, then I got ticket for holding phone while driving, yes, this was dumb. I imagine my age is a factor also, I'm 72 (####) but don't feel that old. I don't want to turn it back to QC but I am having a very hard time finding place to put my truck. I see many companies now want you to have your own baseplate and DOT number and insurance. I guess so it takes the liability off them.
Is this a good way to go, any suggestions will be appreciated.

3 accidents and a driving violation will probably price you right out of the insurance market.

Man hate to hear this. I was under the assumption you could only lease on to an approved carrier with a qc lease? Your options are probably already limited and aren’t most of the approved companies a part of the same company and if so you are most likely out of luck as they probably all follow the same guidelines?
