    Only 5? Dude, you’re seriously killing it!!! You’re a “top tier driver” (according to another website)- keep up the good work. We need more top tier drivers like you.

    There is always the greater Chicagoland companies.
    I'd bet at least one would pay you for your services.

    Words of wisdom, when you try to look like a veteran driver, a lot of times you will end up looking like a rookie driver.

    Not necessarily. In my first three months, I also had three preventable incidents. Small Mickey Mouse #### ones but they were noted nonetheless. I decided to quit before being officially fired for that. Escaping termination on my record this way. Add to that 2 speeding tickets later in the same year at a different outfit...Here I am 16 years later, no more incidents and tickets. Some guys have a rougher trucking job "break-in" than others, I guess.

    I'm puzzled by the parking lot accident, he was hit, and he gets the preventable?

    You could get hired on with a Carnival,but if you wreck the truck,just get out and run.

    Thanks for the help guys!

    Well Navajo turned me down and so I'm talking with USA truck. None of my incidents are on my DAC which helps? I'm talking with covenant about a yard jockey position down the road from me as well.

    Good idea, there's no fire hydrants in the ocean.
