Greetings!

Whats up creatures of the night (or day) whatever shift your on...
Just want to introduce myself since I've never created an account for this site, but always lurked for info on things. Got my CDL in 2018 from good ol C.R ENGLAND truck driving school! My driving career has been at a stand still since 2021. A utility truck ran into the passenger side while i was driving for Crete carrier. Just a bunch of BS. Anyway companies want accident free for 3 or more years and also a year of recent driving. This year will be 5 years. When i did apply to jobs that say 3 years of no accidents it's almost always 5 or 7 years accident free they're looking for. It's been a pain these past years. Hopefully my driving career isn't completely cooked. I've never had a DUI or DWI. Just that ONE ####### that ran into me screwed it all up for the most part. Idk, this turned into a introduction then to venting my frustration all in one.

 

That was actually the first company i reached out to the same year i had the accident. But they were going to place me for the flatbed division..given how recent the accident happened they didnt hire me. So far KLLM has a driver refresher course that takes in drivers that need it, and im guessing you would have to be on for a year or so. Not sure, but thats what i've got from the research i've done.

 

Yeah. I need to get more information from both companies, because i miss driving. Even all the stuff that drivers complain about, still beats having to work a job at a warehouse.
