Profile For Andre H.

I haven't started looking yet just asking. The company I was last with didn't fire me after second accident, I retired because the business has turned so ugly. I guess I'll stay retired then.

Thanks for the help/comments

The first accident and moving violation comes off in July of this year

In general, your on the line of being disqualified. One more mishap and I don't think you have a chance. Most companies probably won't touch you, but you need to find that one company who will give you a chance. We can't do it here for you. You need to call every company out there and submit an application. You'll get denied on most of them, but keep you hopes up that one will take you. You must seriously be in contact with at least 15 different companies.

You can't be picky, whoever will give you a chance you should be grateful and gladly accept the opportunity. So contact companies and speak with their recruiters.

As a side note, your area helps a lot. There is a lot of demand for drivers in the Chicago area so definitely have that to your advantage. Try looking for companies on Craigslist as well.

I gotta ask, what the heck are you doing getting into so much trouble in only three years. I don't mean to be rude, but make 100% sure you're ready for this because mistakes in a truck could easily get innocent people killed. Trucks are a whole lot more difficult to maneuver and operate safely. Make sure you've grown up mentally from your troubled pasted. Just trying to make sure you know what you're trying to get yourself into, this isn't a car - and accidents and traffic violations are much much more serious and deadly in a CMV.

My first accident I was sick with walking pneumonia and passed out at the wheel and ran into a ditch, and second one a four wheeler was playing around in front my truck, after a mile or so he slams on brakes and I ran into him. the crazy thing about that was the state trooper had someone else pulled over and when he got to our accident he looked at his dash cam and seen the other driver mistakes and give him the ticket. The guy took it to court and they said i was at fault because by law he has the right to slow down even after showing the judge that everybody was floored. I not a rookie, I've been a truck driver for 25 years and those accidents were the first I ever had in a truck. I retired after that but now I'm bored and want to get back in the business.

This in a CMV or your personal vehicle? All I can think to say is make the phone calls to find out.

I live in the Chicago area and I have been looking for a trucking job, the problem I'm having is my record is jacked up. I've had two accidents and two moving violations in the pass three years. I just wanted to know if anybody knows of any jobs that will hire?

Two accidents and two moving violations in the pass three years. Are there any companies that will hire me?
