Been driving 20yrs an i just had my first accident, snowy/icy corner, slide off about 30feet in a field an jackknifed. No one else involved, no dot , no fine just pulled out an sent on my way an when i got home an was done for the day, i was fired. Now im finding out that no one will hire me because of or they want 3mos accident free an then they'll take me but ya cant get the 3mos with that company. I live in Pa im 55 an im looking for a company that will give me that chance an so far all the ones i contacted is a no go. If any one out there has any ideas an or help i caould have pls. Let me know. Thankyou.

Welcome Mark, I know you’ve been at this along time, but as you know sometimes things happen. Based on your description the company will have to report it to DOT. Which is why they came down harsh on you.

This is a horrible time to be looking for a new job because the industry is saturated with experienced drivers due to so many company’s going out of business.

All you can do at this point is use the application tool here or ten street and shoot out your app and hope someone will give you a shot. Persistence will be important. You will most likely have to go with a second chance type company for a bit to get back on the road.

Wishing you the best!!

Dutch Maid Logistics, Willard, OH.

Refrigerated freight company that hires drivers from all over the Midwest and Northeast. It's a smaller company of like 200 drivers. They would love to have an experienced driver from PA area, as this is part of their prime operating area. They don't popup on TentStreet, when using that app. Have to go through their website.
