<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furtigan, post: 12375721, member: 304591&quot;]Looking for advice on how to save my driving career.</p><p><br /></p><p>Got my CDL 5 years ago.&nbsp; Worked almost a year each for a couple big OTR companies, no problems.&nbsp; Then took a local job.&nbsp; Three months in, dropped a trailer and was fired.&nbsp;&nbsp; Moved to a different company (XPO) and worked there two years.&nbsp; The second year I tore a ligament in my knee getting out of the truck, and missed six months of work.&nbsp; At the end two years (this past December), I left that company to take a couple months off, intending to go back to OTR after a break.</p><p><br /></p><p>But now I find that the last company has put on my DAC report a couple more accidents and a &quot;would not rehire.&quot;&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing one of the accidents was a trailer scrape I reported, and the other was me tearing my ligament, and that&#039;s the reason for the &quot;do not rehire.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; My manager and dispatcher I know loved me, but I&#039;m guessing corporate HR did not like the months of workman&#039;s comp.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In any event, I&#039;ve now been told by three different companies that they cannot hire me based on my DAC, and I am trying to figure out how to rebuild my reputation.&nbsp; I have no tickets or violations, but I have two consecutive companies reporting me as &quot;would not rehire&quot; and an &quot;accident resulting in injury&quot; on my record.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A friend has suggested getting a job driving a box truck for a year before reapplying for Class A jobs.&nbsp; Would that help &quot;rehabilitate&quot; me?&nbsp; Any other suggestions?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
