Hello, Spacers icon, welcome to Trucking Truth!
Sounds like you're still at Step 1 for the CDL. Use the High Road program for your studies, for sure.
You don't describe your accident, was it a fender bender or worse than that? Driving issues (your accident) are almost a car by case study with companies - policies vary. You can apply "everywhere" with the Apply For Truck Driving Jobs app. That takes care of getting the application to the right place - "right place" being the company that calls you back!
Here some links to follow up on:
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
I was behind another car in the early morning coming downhill approaching a bend in the road. Another vehicle coming the opposite way took the turn too fast and hit a utility pole. The car in front of me stopped just in time to avoid the pole.
For me it was a choice of hitting another car, possibly injuring somebody or taking my vehicle off the road. So I made the choice hopefully all of us would make, off the road I went, down goes a farmer's fence. No injuries. I could have driven the vehicle away but insurance decided to total it because of its age.
The police treated the scene as two separate accidents. I was never cited for anything. No insurance judgement either.

So, several years back I was actually accepted by Prime for their cdl school. Then life just kinda happened and I was unable to attend. I had a no fault accident around that time also.
Flash forward to the present, I'm now able to go to school. It seems like the companies I've applied with don't want to touch me for an accident almost three years ago, no incidences since. I'd really enjoy a change in my life right now.
I'm just looking for reccomendations. What companies would be willing to take a chance on me?
