Just a question

panorris62 · Oct 29, 2011

I just recently came back to driving, but after coming back I have a had 2 instances where I have accidentally hit somthing with my trailer. The first thing I ran over was a stop sign and the second I damaged part of the shipment approximately 245.00 damage. I want to come into expediting with a straight truck. The question I have is should I tell the recruiters about these and would these intances keep me from being able to sign on with a company. I had to report both instances to my company.

I would be upfront and honest about them. They may or may not show up, but if they do and you didn't list them it might disqualify you at a lot of companies.

Its not that I am a bad driver, One happened during poor visibility and the other I just couldnt see the sign. I will be honest and tell because of the DAC reports now. It will probably be about a year from now when I have my truck but I amk trying to get my experience with driving squared away first. In all my years of driving this is the only things that have ever happened to me.

Wonderful Dak reports.
I have posted a couple of times what happened with me and Landstar and being honest.
Sitting in the truckstop in Indy having breakfast a rookie backed into my truck while it was parked. It only did about two hundred in damage. I called L/S safety to report it. Witnesses came forward and also caught the driver trying to leave. L/Star put it on my Dak report. This was 2003, it's still there. I've even had attorney's challenge L/S for the listing to no evail.
