Trucking Companies That Hire Drivers With DUI

Need some info please. I'm 6 months into driving, been running about 2500 to 3000 miles a week and I stay out 4 to 5 weeks at a time. My problem is that I have had 2 preventables and a non preventable accident during that time. The 2 preventables were scraping a trailer in a truck stop and barely backing into a truck at a delivery. By barely I mean I was almost at a stop and just nicked the driver side door of another truck. It did cause minor damage and it was a bonehead move on my part. The non preventable happened in the mountains of West Virginia on a narrow mountain road when I had to go off the road to avoid an oncoming car that had drifted into my lane. It was bail out or hit him. He kept going and I had major damage to my trailer. I was hauling about 40000 pounds of Coors and didn't lose a drop. Can anyone out there give me a list of companies that would be willing to get me going again? I'm just not ready to throw in the towel and I know that I can do the job. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did your Current Company fite you, or did you quit?

My terminal manager fought to keep me, but upper management said to let me go.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

Ouch! I'm glad you didn't say you quit! Apply like crazy. There is a feature somewhere on this site that you can fill out one application, and Brett uses some type of Internet Wizardry to transmit it throughout the entire Galaxy,( or at least to a bunch of Companies at once). Search the homepage, you'll find it!
