THERE'S GOTTA BE SOME HOPE

So I'll keep it short and sweet. I graduated from Celadon's trucking academy here in Denver on September 3rd of this last year. September 6th I got into my very first accident EVER! The accident was in my own personal vehicle. My '05 Ford Focus against the other drivers Ford pickup truck... Damage to his bent bumper costed $900. There were 0 injuries. I disagreed with being charged as a reckless driver so I disputed it in court. The charges were dropped from reckless to defective vehicle. Unfortunately "accident" still shows up on my mvr. There has to be someone willing to hire a rookie driver with only one moving violation. I'm a 27 year old woman, never married, no children and tired of construction, tired of the city, and tired of feeling stagnant. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Oh you can certainly find work somewhere but I don't really have any secrets to finding it or anything. You just have to fill out applications for every company on the planet, keep making phone calls, and see who will give you a chance.

My first thought is that "defective vehicle" sounds like it really shouldn't be considered your fault. A reckless driving charge would have been infinitely worse for sure so it's a great thing that you fought it.

But I would just rifle off applications hard and heavy, keep following them all with phone calls, and you'll get a shot somewhere. We have a great listing of Truck Driving Jobs and you can even fill out one application to send to a whole long list of companies to speed up the process.

Thank you so much! I did what you said about just pounding out as many apps and phone calls as possible and I have job interview Monday! It's for a local company but it's something to give me experience. Thank you!
