    So here I am, back with my old company that blackballed be out of a good job with Jb intermodal division last month. They faxed back some inflated numbers on an accident from a year ago. (Bob tailing home, co. Had a suicide knob that got caught in my shirt on a curve, went off road at 25mph, needed a tow out. No injuries, no property damage, just a couple bolts needed replacing on the feet killer bumper) ( I even took a paycut to cover tow bill)
    the fax read it was a major preventable accident that cost over 15k in damage.
    Now I didn't want to cause a scene, so I just asked if there was an appeals process. They said no. I had to wait until 3 years pass before I would be able to work for them.
    So, I keep looking for the good job with benefits and retirement.
    MI find a Craigslist ad yesterday for a dedicated run for a major retailer. No specific info on it, but I was curious, so I called.
    Come to find out, it's JB again. I was let down after he said that. I explained I already tried to come over to Jb, but my current boss faxed over blah blah.
    Now he asked me for an accident report, that maybe I can get the rejection overturned.
    Dare I hope that I can still get on?!

    I would have to use my dads addy to get on there, and it's a bit far of a commute with gas prices rising. If I bussed back and forth it would be cheaper, but all my home time would be spent traveling.

    So today I'm going to get a copy of my accident report from last year, and we will see what happens. I'll let you know if it gets overturned by safety.

    sometimes the recruiters cant pull strings, But JB account managers can, If you have an accident report that shows to go with your story then you might have luck, I wouldn't give up especially if someone else will run your info. I had to show my accident report from a fatal accident way back when, But I was cleared so I wasn't worried.

    I've been involved in 2 accidents in my short time as a driver. The first was listed as a non-preventable on my dac, as it should have been. I was rear ended by another cmv. The second wasn't on my dac, but was considered a preventable by the company I was driving for. I was t-boned by a drunk driver coming around the corner that hit the gas instead of the brakes. I presented both accident reports to be hired. The preventable always gets a laugh, including here. Btw, neither of the accidents are on my driving record. Go figure.
