    If you haven't been fired from your last employer, stay with them. Having a rollover that early in your career is a career ending accident.

    I really hate it when people think of their families after the fact.

    I wish you luck. You manned up and didn't blame it on a 4 wheeler or a wet road. You will get another chance. Who have you applied with by the way?

    That was a cheap shot. Ridiculous, you don't even know the circumstances.

    With only 9 months of truck driving experience you will find it next to impossible to find anyone that will give you a 2nd chance.
    You may find some owner operator with a few trucks that may hire you, but any of the larger companies wont touch you. This is
    a very unforgiving business. Even a driver with years of experience will have trouble finding another driving job after a rollover
    accident. You are now considered a high risk driver and they think if you did it once you will do it again-or an even worse accident.
    Just ask yourself, if you owned a trucking company would you hire a driver who had a major accident after only 9 moths of driving?

    Then you need to find another line of work. It's as simple as that.
