    It always happens. People read the time span. Geeez. Get a grip. I have seen far worse.

    Without knowing the details of the roll over you can not say. Besides its only held against you for three year, I wish I had lived the perfect driving life as some of the ret of the posters on here.

    Truth is I have made my share of mistakes, and time heals all as long as you learn and dont repeat the and ones.

    Depends on the companies insurance if they can hire you. My company being a LTL has its own insurance. We hire previous accidents drivers. Hired a guy who rolled his back box. Depends if the company needs drivers too to over look things.

    If I ever needed a internet lawyer................I want you! I could run into things every few months, just knowing that I have you in my corner.

    It is what it is man. That rollover could be a deal breaker no matter where you go. The above companies will hire you with an accident on your record.

    Well its just lots of experience, so good , and well so nots so good. But live and learn. I had a roll over December 2013 and was driving by February 2014, just took due diligence, and not getting my bosun chair tangled in the scuttlebutt.
