post-accident suspension versus resignation

I would resign. jmho

 

I'd ride it out depending on the situation.
What were you charged with? If you were charged with reckless driving, you will definately be fired and unemployable OTR for three years.
Other than that, they'll look at your two years employment and if you were a good productive driver they'll probably give you a second chance.

The thing is if you get fired, you'll probably be able to draw unemployment. You quit, you won't. A new job, they'll look at the accident and circumstances. Whether you got fired or quit is redundant. Many companies will say no more than three accidents or moving violations in three years. Case by case basis though.

 

I dont think I would quit under the circumstances, unless you dont like the job.

 

I agree with Condo, if you quit, you lose your unemployment....if you get fired you will likely get unemployment as your actions are not considered to be misconduct which would disqualify you from employment.

 

Rear ending is automatic termination at most (if not all) starter companies.

 

OP hasn't been back since he posted this....in February.

 

With the lost job comes no internet.

 

Ooops! I just noticed now!
