    First things first, you need to find out how they're reporting it to other companies. Check your DAC report through HireRight and your Driver iQ report through Cisive. This will let you know how much you have to share. If they're not reporting it, don't offer it. If you were recently let go, it may take a little time before they report.

    It would help if you told us what they terminated you for, but I understand completely if you don't. If it makes you feel any better, I had a non-DOT incident on my first day out solo after getting off the trainer's truck. That was in 2022, I'm still driving, and I haven't had anything since.

    That’s correct, and I’d like to know too.

    Even the veterans among us started somewhere.

    Some pay real well and some just so-so.
    If it were me, I'd go apply in person and ask that question.

    Friend of mine did the beverage driving (Coca-Cola). Made a good living and retired with a nice pension.

    What do YOU consider a close call?
    Then why ask?

    If you can't be up front to tell us, why ask?
    If you are not willing to tell us that may be the problem if you are looking for a job, if we don't know what a close call is, how would you expect an answer?
     
    TripleSix and nextgentrucker Thank this.

    A close call is playing Candy-Crush on your phone while driving on the Cross Bronx at 4pm.
