That’s what I originally thought. No tickets were issued. I side swiped a car through an intersection. I was at fault. But I thought with it being one accident & two years experience I could at least get on with a second chance company but it seems they all check DAC & that makes 4 accidents. I’ve been looking but it seems like every company & their insurance uses DAC.
Second chance companies?

It was running a red light, side swiped a car. Car was towed. No one was hurt thankfully. Very stupid mistake.

Just recently?
Stop applying to the larger carriers, stick to smaller ones that probably won’t check DAC.
List your reportable accidents and what may be on your MVR..that’s it.
New drivers screw up, that’s reality. Scrape a trailer, curb a tire and bend a wheel etc. Nanny companies list all this crap to ruin your chances of driving after you quit them..childish imo. -
Apply to any company.....it only takes 1 yes.

Yes it was January of this year. The other accidents (all similar to what you listed) were from the very beginning but not over 3 years yet. One was from early 2021 & two from late 2021.
Not a lot of local, smaller companies where I live (Temple, TX). I’m willing to live in a truck long term in another state even if I could find something local with sleepers. Just can’t move from here permanently. I have a son. -
My mvr is clear because the police didn’t issue any citations & put nobody at fault, even though I was. My psp shows me involved in an accident but nobody at fault.
-
Don’t list or talk about “the other accidents”.
That”s in house BS between you and your previous carrier. -
Wouldn't they get disclosed when the new carrier calls to verify employment? I thought listing safety incidents was part of the verification, but I could be wrong?
-
The DAC shows them. I list the DOT reported one only on apps but when they pull DAC they disqualify me because I then have 4 total.
-
It’s my understanding that they can only ask for the time you were employed there…start date end date.
Maybe another forum member can clarify..I’ve never hired anyone.
