For sure…my vehicle was towed away I was ticketed for failure to reduce speed and I was the only one injured and went to the hospital…I was on a 2 lane road and a car was parked on side of the road, as I got closer to the car it tried to do a u turn and I tried to miss it but I hit the front fender and loss control of the truck.

Well, ( pulling suspenders) sounds like you been had, son( or dear), that 4 wheeler, I bet, pulled in front of you on purpose for damages, hey, don't think so? People are resorting to some pretty crazy things, they have nothing to lose, and all to gain if they make it, that is. I was told early on, if a 4 wheeler does a stupid stunt like that, better to send them into next week than wreck the truck. A dash cam would probably help in this case. I've said many times, don't rely on internet interviews, go IN PERSON to these places, and explain what happened, hey, it may work, as opposed to a red flag on a database. I think you have a good chance at a job again. I'd hire ya',,good luck.

OK, sounds OK but then what is your driving record before?
Glad you are OK but that means it was an accident that had a drug test, right?
So the other driver was at fault but you got the ticket, right?
What happened when you lost control?
By the way why did you wait?
You should have started to apply ASAP after the accident.FullMetalJacket Thanks this. -
I was drug tested and didn’t have drugs in my system so I never had to enter ASAP…I waited because no one would hire me with the accident being fresh on my record…I rolled the truck and it had to be towed away. My driving record was ok I did have a ticket for driving under personal conveyance though.

apply as much as you can.FullMetalJacket Thanks this.
