    I didn't have a roll over. I heard a couple of drivers talking about roll overs and it had me thinking about it.

    I knew a guy who rolled a set in Staten Island coming back to Brooklyn. He was still working there to tell me about it obviously.

    Some companies have right on their requirements no rollovers ever.So it depends on the company and what exactly happened.if you drive in blizzard conditions and have a rollover then companies will treat that as the drivers fault and a preventable accident because they would argue you shouldn't have been driving in those conditions.if u have a rollover and it wasn't your fault then chances are greater you'll find a job.

    Some companies will promote you to Safety Coordinator and Orientation Instructor if you have enough roll overs. Years ago it was said the fellas that held those 2 positions at a mega flat bed company (lots of chrome) had 8 roll overs between the two of them.

    On I'm sure you can find a way, if you try hard enough. If not, just drive it off a cliff!:D

    Ahh-did not mean that post to sound like it was YOU that had the rollover. Could have worded that better, I guess.:oops:

    I know a guy who worked for a small outfit. Got a DUI when he rolled their truck. He was a long time employee, and the company did pull him into the office, until he got his license back. This was back before insurance companies did not dictate what a company will and won't do. They just added a hefty amount to the premium...
