Most say no more than 2 or 3 accidents in 3 years. Is that referring to dot reportable accidents? Or everything on your dac too?![]()
On companies websites under driver requirements?

They check your DMV also. Most insurance companies look at your total driving record. DOT and personal

Dude, it doesn't matter how many different threads or different ways you ask this question, your 6 screwups are going to keep you from most decent jobs. You may think it is minor, breaking two backup cameras, hitting a parked truck at a tight dock, cracking a bumper, broken spot mirror and so on, but really these are all indicative of a driver that is not paying attention.
It does not matter how you define an incident, they all count! Some companies are more tolerant than others but in the end they will find out from your previous employer what your actual record is, just like quitting so you could take a vacation then going back. That all will reflect on any good company and their willingness to hire you.
That other trailer, or the parking stand or what ever it was you just brushed against could have been a person on a city sidewalk, could have been a worker in the yard...get the point it could have been a fatal accident. This makes you a dangerous driver, and until you stop looking for ways to minimize your actions and instead look at how to prevent them from ever happening again you shouldn't be driving a truck, period. I tried saying that as nicely as possible yesterday, giving you the benefit that you would learn from your mistakes and listen to those of us that have made careers out of this industry, but nope you are still trying to find a technicality as a way to avoid disclosing your horrible record as a new driver.
There is no such thing as a minor woopsie or any contact with a stationary object that doesn't count!driverdriver, LoneCowboy, speedyk and 4 others Thank this. -

We all make mistakes, how we react and learn from them is what makes the difference. Please stop trying to brush them off as no big deal, they really are a big deal. Make it your goal to become a driver that can earn a one million mile award, then strive for two million accident free miles. It is hard but can be done even in the big cities like New York and Chicago.driverdriver, Travelworld2067 and ZVar Thank this. -

That 1 year employment is on my dac stating i quit resigned but there were not any incidents. Even tho thats when most of my stuff happened that 1st year. And they added this report a week after i quit. The current periof isnt on there
