I Had A Rollover And Can't Find Work

So my driving record is ****ty from the start of my CDL I've been driving a year otr didnt have a problem with companies hiring me with a ****ty record in the first place. So Oct. I had a guy run me off the road I put the in the ditch and laid it over no one hurt no damage to the other 4 wheeler he kept going and didnt stop. Of course the people behind me wouldnt write a statement but they saw everything and stop to see if I was alright. Now I cant these insurance companies to approve me and I'm getting my DAC fixed.So I'm asking for help and what should I do now my family is starving I cant pay my cdl tuition and all I want to do is drive. Any body steer me in the right direction and if u say go with a larger company well I've applied for 74 companies in the that 2weeks turn down after turn down!! Please help me!!

My suggestion....look for another industry. You got off lucky no one was hurt and you werent killed. You might not get so lucky next time.

You admit you had a lousy driving record before you got a CDL.

Then because a car cut you off, you rolled the truck into a ditch. You did that, not the car. When the car began to pass you, you should have been driving defensively and reduced your speed. This would increase your following distance as he continued to speed. Your fault.

74 companies turned you down and you want us to steer you in a direction? Rollovers are usually the kiss of death.

Try Carolina Cargo which is a second chance company.

But honestly, until you accept responsibility and learn from your mistakes, this will keep happening.

Rainy is correct, that you will have a super hard time finding a company to take you on, with a rollover.

However.... Sometimes things happen that you have absolutely no control over. You could be doing everything 100% correct, and another driver can do something that you have zero chance of evading. It happens, even to the best of drivers.

This is a good example of the need to have a dashcam, either one installed by your carrier, your own personal one or both.

A dash cam wouldn't matter... he went into a ditch and "laid it"... roll overs are at least a $300,000 loss due to paying for cranes, tows, local authorities, damaged freight.

Losing control of your vehicle is not good. we aren't talking being pushed onto the side of the shoulder or something...a rollover is serious business.

We are the professional drivers and need to expect people to do stupid things and need to have a plan "out" every second of our day. This isnt a trailer scrape. And he is taking no responsibility and bragged that he got hired with a lousy record.

So companies took a chance on him with a lousy record and he proved he couldnt be trusted. He could easily have killed someone, but what has he learned? It was the 4 wheelers fault and the witnesses fault. Witnesses could have said "the car cut him off" and it would STILL be a preventable on his DAC.

Im curious about the line "Im getting my DAC fixed." How?

Please Steven, tell us what you learned from the experience?
