    try a mega carrier that is self insured. They will take you. The big names with a bad rep will let you work your record clean

    I really hate to recommend them but since you're in a kinda bad position I'd look at any 1099 from craigslist.

    Some types are incapable of making good decisions when under stress. You think you’re a “hell of a driver” after wrecking two trucks in a month and both were 100% your fault? You are a reckless driver and extremely selfish.

    Professionals who know when to back it down and don’t treat their day as an eleven hour nascar race do not want to get killed by a stray 80,000 pound out of control missile.

    Your words have solidified that staying as far as possible from all the “hell of a drivers” , the second I suspect them, is going to be my primary strategy from here out.

    Slowing 3 MPH for 1 minute at highway speeds, even 101 times a day costs you exactly less than 5 minutes at the end of every day. How many drivers really drive like a professional?
