Today was a wasted day in emails back and forth with the school.
Basically. The want me to "Pre-Apply" with some carriers. I mean, I am accepted to the school, already have my CLP, but the school representative said I could get an idea how the carriers will treat me considering my lack of work history.
So. I started with the first carrier on their list. They are doing their own background check but I do not feel good about this. - I have 1 accident on my record, at an intersection in the middle of nowhere. - Farm country. Corn fields. Check - Check - Check proceed. Didn't see that car coming. Took my bumper off like butter.
sigh. Just don't feel good about it.
If this carrier won't have me then I am backing out of the program.
It is what it is.
I am interested to see what this company says. Basically nothing shows up on my record when others look. The state didn't keep it on my record. I told the company about it because I was honest.

If I remember right. It was Covenant who sent me an instant job offer. At least good for your school. No BS. Just an offer.

Did you say you are backing out if this ONE carrier will not accept you??
Truckermania and Gamgee Thank this. -
Sam wise would not give up so easily!
It’s not a bad thing to apply to companies. There’s a lot out there and it’s tediuos work, but the more companies you apply to the more choices you have.
Did you get a copy of your mvr? How long ago was the accident? We’re you found at fault?
Speeding tickets will hurt more then a fender bender.
Ask @Chinatown for possibilities.
There’s also drivers pulse app.
Get a copy of you mvr, it’s free (go back 10 years) If the accident is not on there do not offer the information.
If they ask for information like have you had a ticket in the last 3 years, don’t tell them you had one 4 years ago.
I think it’s good the school is having you do this.Gamgee Thanks this. -
