    I guess it depends. Is there perhaps more aspects of your recent driving history that might also be relevant and that might also come up in an employment verification inquiry?

    Things like missed critical appointments or unable to follow directions and adhere to company policy, and stuff like that?

    2 years ago i got into an accident with another uber driver when i was an uber driver. I came out of intersection and i had right away and he hit me. Found out he was on his phone. We went to court and ended with him not showing up so it was a no contest. He took me to court but he didnt show up.

    Thats only other thing on my record

    What's on your DAC report? Probably won't matter to the companies I listed. Do the online apps and you'll probably get some job offers.
