The first, and last, post was 1 month ago. So...

 

Despite what most of us would like to admit, we all have minor scuffs and stuff we don't even mention. I can't tell you how many times someone has backed into my trailer at a truckstop for example. Not knock the crud out of it, but just tap it. I am not getting out and taking pictures, spending 3+ hours doing accident reports and all that when there is literally no damage whatsoever. Mind you it's the very rear, likely the rubber bump stops they are hitting anyway, but still.

If you have been to orientation for the other 2 companies you never drove for, then those companies declining you are considering that employment as well. Despite your reason for leaving, they are looking at you as having 5 jobs in 11 months. I would in the meantime of waiting to see if whoever else you have talked to thus far will hire you, order my hireright report and see just how many are actually reported there on my hireright aka dac report. Any that aren't there on that report that I didn't actually drive for, I probably wouldn't list on any application.

Being fired for safety reasons, I would imagine is the biggest reason you are having trouble. Don't be so hard on yourself, we all have trouble backing into tight spots at some point. Even the best of the best have times where they are in a pinch and have to make it work. I would have suggested trying all the self insured carriers which is basically every company that offers company sponsored training, but I am sure in the 73 you have applied with and been declined you have likely tried most of those.

Don't know your feelings about food service delivery, but that is probably where I would try next. There are some of those food distribution companies that offer insurance from day one, I think because they are desperate for drivers, its incredibly labor intensive work, and they usually have pretty high turnover. It sucks, I won' t lie to you. But at the same time, may be even more risky for you.

 

Look Local. Waste Management and most other waste hauler companies are always desperate for help and often have a good training program. Local dump truck or roll off drivers are always hiring and lot's of smaller companies have the choice of listening to you and not simply reading your background. Ill be getting my Class A soon but the more I look the more I'm convinced that I want to work local class B. I live in a semi rural area and Propane drivers are in demand around here. Good Luck

 

My 2 cents for what it's worth I'd get the class A. You'll be more marketable with it. You decide to get a class A after obtaining a class B still have to take another driving test.

 

At this current time I'm afraid you are uninsurable. You'll probably have to wait a year or so and then try again.

 

What was the second chance company you got terminated from ?
