    Stop saying you've had 3 accidents. It looks as if you're crashing into loaded school buses.
    You were fired because you ripped some tarps; not because you crashed your truck through an orphanage.
    Tell potential employers you were fired for ripping tarps by mistake.

    But probably Western Express would be a good place to start

    Yes, tell the truth, but don't use the word "accident."
    "I was fired because I tore some tarps."

    Do online applications before calling.
    I don't think Roadtex has online app, so you'll have to call that company.

    Ok explain the 'accidents' ...you tore the tarps while tarping?? While in transit?? That makes no sense ...did you do something else related to the tarps?

    You ripped the tarp on the trailer 3 separate times the past couple weeks? How are you ripping it?
