    Include the job history and accident info in your applications. Unless your working for a company ran out of a toolshed they will find out whatever you try and hide. And then their first impression of you is that your not an honest person. I say this from experience, I tried to hide some stuff on applications and lost a couple interested employers when they found out about it. They have ways of finding out ...

    Having said that, your career is not over. Rollovers are definitely not good on your record, but there are companies that need anyone they can get in the seat. Just don't expect to get a job with UPS. Throw as many applications as you can to small companies and second chance companies. Call them and check up on your applications.

    Its not the end of the world. Rolling a truck is up there unfortunately. You must have been involved in either extreme evasion or got toppled by the wind etc. Believe it or not I have actually run a semi off road once in pouring rain, no one would believe it and Im pretty happy she came back to the pavement. Took everything I knew about that truck and a little luck to make it happen. So anythings possible.

    Companies learn about you in ways we don't yet fully understand. However, it is my experience that companies tended to harp on the 1000 dollars worth of Curbing I destroyed in Sayre NY at the VA Clinic under construction there rather than the 15000 dollars worth of store inventory I destroyed in CT for reasons too many to explain here. Its the small stuff that hangs em up I tell you.

    Fortunately after about 10 years it falls off by law or when that company ceases to exist as happened a few times. There used to be one company I worked for two weeks and jumped ship to JBH in Little Rock that I did not list in applications. One employer asked me about that one. I told them I hire on to haul cream in tankers, had a driver quit that very day I was approved and a tanker load needing to be delivered. What do they do? Stick me in a van and have me beating around Carolinas for 200 miles here 200 miles there slamming doors. No wonder I quit fast. (Never mind the fact that I joined a multibillion dollar outfit still slamming doors...) Nothing against van, it's not my flavor. I get really careless and lazy because I need detail work and problems to solve as found in flatbed, reefer, tanker etc.

    Again its not the end of the world. You will live out your life doing what you want to do and if you are lucky making a dollar doing it. Everyone else just spends it all on payday and have nothing. So you are already over the roll over. Great. Moving on to someone else for a while. That too shall pass.

    I disagree Chinatown. And don’t take wrong way because I respect you but Locals don’t look into those dac reports or any of that nonsense. All they do is ask for license and photocopy it. Then they give to their insurance. The insurance company will insure and not say anything. He has no license issues. Do not offer info like that
