I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but even if you hadn't had the preventable and speeding ticket, I doubt any small fleets on here would be able to hire you even if they wanted to, due to your lack of experience.

Nearly all the top tier insurance companies have a hard minimum of two years, and they do check it. On the other hand, megas are self-insured which is why they can hire anyone that can fog a mirror.

I'm not bringing this up just to discourage you. More of a word of caution, because there are a lot of shady operators out there that will hire a driver like you and just not add you on the insurance policy. Then if you are involved in an accident, you can be on the hook for a lot more than you bargained for.

Just saying you need to be careful. And probably stick to applying with self insured megas where that isn't an issue. Megas are also much more likely to be running automatic equipped trucks, for what that's worth too. Keep at it. Someone will take you on.

 

You got fired for running over shrubs? Were these rare and valuable money tree shrubs or something?

 

Probably not the full story.

 

Penske will hire you if that’s all they are to the story. They aren’t that great but you will get a paycheck.

 

Be what I was getting at.

 

Thats funny.... Wonder what so special about me getting hired after a accident and ticket... Sure hell wasnt no shrub shru... Fired for it had a job 2 days latter... A much better paying one at that...
