    What exactly did the officer ticket you for and how fast was you driving ?

    My guess is failure to maintain control of vehicle

    Many companies may require that you have a copy of the police report. This actually can go a long way for you, that it was due to an animal. So if you do not have a copy of that police report, then get it and hold onto it. If the lawyer can get it thrown out, good for you!

    Paschall Truck Lines will probably hire you.

    If that doesn't work, try Western Express.

    I have an accident and a ticket on my record so I know how you feel OP. I've done some of my own research and here are the companies that have looked at me with my driving record.

    Paschall Truck Lines
    Star Transport
    Trans Am
    USA Truck
    YRC - They have a dock out of Sherman, TX just north of you.
    Prime
    Averitt

    Give them all a look and see which one tickles your fancy.

    Edit: Accidents are worse than felony convictions in this industry.

    Next time hit the animal. In most cases I would not do more than hard braking to keep from hitting an animal (I see your from Tx. It wasn't a cow was it?). I would hate the thought of hitting someones pet but I'm not going to get killed trying to miss it either. And if you didn't control your 4 wheel vehicle, imagine doing the same thing in a big truck.
     
    G.Anthony and Shaggy Thank this.
