Is there anyone who'll hire me with three accidents on my record that are a year old?

    Did you try TransAm or Carolina Cargo?
    Do the online apps before any phone calls.

    Respectfully saying if all those companies say no then many more will say no.Did you try Carolina cargo?They're a second chance company and if they won't hire you then noone will for now.

    I'd go there; anything is better that fast food jobs. It's only temporary anyway.

    "Hello US Xpress, I was wondering if you would hire someone who has three incidents on their DAC Report from over a year ago?"

    "No."

    "Well do you know of any company who would?"

    (Hangs up phone)

    (Sarcastically: "Well that went well..." "In fact, I'm not the LEAST bit discouraged..." :mad:

    Thanks for all your help, but I'm going in a totally different direction with this. I received an offer from First Student to drive school buses in Allentown, PA. The funny thing is the person who interviewed me, when I explained my situation, he understood. I explained to him, "the first incident happened because my fleet manager told me to park the truck and trailer where I live in downtown Easton." "I told him I couldn't because there wasn't enough room." "I suggested the much safer options of either a truck stop or a terminal, but he refused and said, 'it must be parked in front of the house.' " The interviewer says, "So basically, they fired you because you couldn't park in front of your house." I say, "well, you can look at it that way." In my mind, I'm thinking, "FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!!!!" "I KNEW I COULDN'T 'VE BEEN THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THIS WHOLE SITUATION WAS STUPID!!!!!!!" Anyway, what really sold me was bus companies have terminals you park the buses at when you go off duty, so I don't have to worry about anyone forcing me to park it in an unsuitable area. Also, he said the children are more mature than any Family Dollar manager I've met thus far, which makes sense. Most of them are extremely immature and unprofessional. Anyway, it's $18 per hour for at least 20 hours per week. That coupled with my YouTube income (I'm making an average of $100 per day) should cover it. I think I'm pretty much done with truck driving...
