OP .... A small firm is where you need to head. Some place where a level headed owner is the same guy who hires you. Tell your story, do not whine, as you have not here. Have the Police Report also. Never omit that former employer from an app. I may hire you with a bruised DAC, but will fire you if I catch you in a lie.
Had a wreck, needing advice on what to do now.

If it was DOT reportable (which, since a tow-truck was required, it was) it'll show up on your PSP. I'm not sure whether it'll actually count for any CSA points, however, since no citations were issued.

Someone keeps saying the dot officer said it was non preventable at the scene.. They don't determine preventable accidents at the scene right then.. They do test and measurements and send it to the state office of that district.. In texas all they will give you on the scene is at fault tickets.. or no ticket meaning you were not at fault.. BUT NOT BEING AT FAULT DOESN'T NOT MEAN IT IS NON-PREVENTABLE

Could this accident maybe have been prevented by merging at a little faster speed? About 30mph merging into 60 mph rush hour traffic with a wet road to boot can get interesting. Best of luck vety, hope you find a good company.
