Want to get my CDL, one semi-recent preventable accident on MVR. Am I hosed?

You can try crengland or calrolina cargo.There both two of the worst companies in the industry but if you don't care because of your accident try them.

 

Send an application to Stevens for tanker. They have positions hauling frac sand out of the Houston area. Pay is based on percentage of the load and from what I understand the average is about 1250 per week. 13 speed volvos with APU, dish network and NFL Sunday ticket.

 

Put in some apps and you'll be working in a week or two.
