Profile For Bryan R.

You are going to have an issue. By not reporting you basically fled the scene 9f an accident. Companies would rather have u hit something than lie about it. Directly or through commission.

You exacerbated this by the job hopping. Apply everywhere and take what you can get. Stay safe a year and hopefully you will get past this.

the incident was so minor so i did not report but now i wish i did hind sight is 20 20 for sure if i would had said something when it happened i would still be there so yes i guess i will apply for every where and start at bottom if have too

Hello new to the forum, i got my cdls in 2012 drove for 2 years and quit to raise my children after getting custody of them. then in November of 2021 got a driving job with schneider and drove with them for 4 and 1/2 months enough experience to get hired by marten where i had best driving job ever. well about three weeks ago i was backing in to a dock and my front fender rubbed against a yellow concrete pole and scratched the fender and left yellow paint on fender i did not report it and when i got my 30 day inspection that we are required to get at marten shop guy asked if it was fresh and i said yes he ask if i called it in and i said no and told me to call it in cause he had to report it so i did and after being scolded by the lady on the phone for not reporting it right away. well 2 days later i was called to the office and was terminated for a preventable accident and not reporting it and was told it was going to be on my dac I've already called 2 tucking companies and either of them will not hire me the recruter at jb hunt that i spoke to told me about this site and said i should check here for any advice so i was wondering if my driving career is over or does anyone know of a company that might give me another chance, thanks Bryan

Yep, you've come to the right place, Bryan. Welcome to Trucking TRUTH!

Until the veterans arrive (I'm a wife of a 2mil'miler...) I'll put a few cents in:

Sad you screwed that up at Marten (sorry!) but they're a pretty good company. Now you know for the next place; keep your nose clean, and your CDL cleaner; don't be afraid to call in a 'faux pas' in the future and OWN UP, though!

A.) Where do you live? State, at least.

B.) What's your choice of freight to haul?

C.) What's your TOTAL OTR time?? YOU do the math, haha!

Thanks, not being snarky.. just .. yes, we can help!
