    Okay so I worked for a company two months I just got terminated due to a wreck but I didn’t injury anyone, no ticket was issued to me, no citation and before being let go the guy said it wouldn’t effect me so should I put it on my resume and what does he mean it wont effect me? They let me go really due to Cost he said. The truck pretty messed up.

    Don't trust the guy. You were fired and will have to explain why. He told you it won't affect you just so you would leave the property peacefully.

    The first 90 days of employment it's called
    probation.
    During probation, any incident (occurrence) will lead to an automatic dismissal.
    Usually you are as good as your last delivery.
    If the tractor-trailer is all mangled, we can assume that your last delivery was not perfect.
    There is a Job Guru on this web site that may help you.
    Mr. @Chinatown needs to now your location, endorsements and type of work done so far.
    Dust yourself off, get up and get back in the fray.
    You have a lot more to do before you hang off your gloves, right?

    yeah, NEVER believe what you are told, when you are fired.

    they just want you off the property without calling the police.

    as you are already doing, regarding your DAC/MVR report, YES, you must jot down that information on your applications, not just for the immediate time, but for at least the next 3 to 5 years, WHATEVER a new employer WANTS.
