    Stay away from the big companies. They pull your psp. Most mom and pop shops dont even know or bother that they can pull your record so your better off doing that.

    LTL's won't put him in a truck until the accident clears off his MVR and PSP. LTL's have stricter standards than OTR TL does.

    Too bad a rollover is a serious accident, means you were going too fast. Good luck with your future job search.

    Some of the mom and pops need to keep their CSA scores down. Everyone will pull your PSP now.

    So, if it's so obvious... makes it even worse that you knowingly did it.
