    By chance do u know a way around this besides telling them bc when I talk to a recruiter they say the same thing as pam did that even though its minor it still counts..like could I just go with I have no exp. And try getting hired as a new driver? Do they have a way of telling that I worked prev for pam

    You can always file a lawsuit if this is in fact the case. As long as you're being straight up with what happened. The fence is in fact the only incident.

    I'm pretty sure in this day & age they can and WILL find it out. Have you tried any companies that might want you to go through "retraining" for a little week or two??

    ps: Even though it's only 3 months experience.. it's something. There ARE second chance companies, ie: TransAm, CFI, Carolina Cargo, Western Express, and China knows way more. That's a short list.

    What kind of freight were you hauling? What do you prefer to haul?

    You have to divulge any and all work history for the last 10 years as far as i know. Dont omit them, i know its tempting... specifically look for companies that train, the big problem you have is insurance bs. Not all companys concider grass or mud a accident...

    So you were pulling vans? (ie: the autoparts...right?) Would you be willing to do flatbed? @street beater ... isn't Melton hiring?

    My thoughts exactly. (He was on a bit ago, looking at his thread, and has not yet replied. I'm thinking not good thoughts....)

    Not to hijack your post, OP.... these guys are right. You had ONE "accident....." that's all. Check with some of the companies I listed... and I'm sure there's more. Another flatbed company is Western Express. They are quite forgiving, and I've seen a few good flatbedders come out of there, onto MUCH bigger and better things, if you'd be willing to learn the f/b and securement world of this industry, man.
