Can I get hired after a rollover accident? Details...

You say you accept responsibility but continue to make excuses. Even if it's not engineered correctly hundreds of trucks safely navigate it daily. Others did something incorrectly but ultimately you made the decision to move your vehicle in a way that caused you to roll. To me it doesn't sound like you're taking responsibility.

I didnt make any excuses I simply gave the details. SMH

Can I get hired after a rollover accident? Details...

Additional details: I was relieved of my contract due to this accident, My fleet manager advised it was due to the costs related to the damaged trailer, offloading of the overturned load contents and the tractor damage, I was billed & paid the $1500.00 deductible. ($500.00 each for tractor, trailer and cargo) Luckily, nobody else was hurt, injured. Also, the officer working my accident actually had to redirect { yelled at them for being oblivious to emergency vehicles with flashing lights) 3 trucks who failed to follow signage advising no truck entrance.

As I noted earlier, This driveway is an exit only and constantly is violated by wrong way drivers. Although ultimatelty my responsibilty as the driver. I was approached by 4 truck drivers over a course of several hours while observing the rescue, informing me that that this particular driveway is incorrectly engineered. And suggested that I contact an attorney to have the issue looked at. I accept my role in what happened and it is what it is. As normal I will contimue to disclose it and hopefully get hired or maintain my CDL and endorsements until a time that I can get hired

Can I get hired after a rollover accident? Details...

Hello, I've been a semi driver reefer trailer for 24 months and had a single truck roll over accident leaving a truck stop. Fully loaded 54 pallets double stacked. As I was avoiding 2 trucks that were entering a "Exit only" driveway. The rear tandem rode the rear edge of the exit / soft soil resulting in a rollover. I was a lease operator

I was uninjured. No citations issued during the rescue and I reported the accident to Safety and submitted photos. No drug or alcohol testing was requested, which surprised me becuase it was a rollover accident. I was onsite for 4 hours during the accident cleanup. So it's been 3 weeks and I've applied to a local FL company, revealing the information about the roll over accident, the recruiter found nothing on my DAC report or DMV reports. The new employer when they called for a job reference they stated the accident is still under investigation.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks, Shawn
