    In the state of Maine if you rear-end someone, no and's,but's or, if's you are automatically at fault. I'm not sure about where you are but no camera, witness or anything will change that here.

    Turn 21 In January 4 months the one extra month till the accident is a year old
    yea I did expect that just to be for the truck and insurance for a year I feel like the older u are the better haven’t seen that many young owner operators I got a friend car hauling from high school he just turned 21 but his dad is a owner operator so dose it really matter ur age or if u get a good contract ur set with like flatbed work from ports or oil filed work cause someone people don’t make anything and some people make alot
    And most of those jobs want experience plus 5 years so I don’t get how people get around that

    I have no idea. Hauling cars before he's 21 seems odd at best.

    You might find a job in 6 months, but it will be with a 2nd chance company.
    Insurance companies make the rules. If a company hires you, the application will be run through the insurance company.

    I think he just turned 21 cause we graduated the same year so might not be 21 yet but he’s been driving for awhile

    Ask his father if he'll hire you.
