Three year old preventables

I have three prevetables on my DAC that have prevented me from getting ANY kind of CDL job in two and a half years. On the 22nd this coming July two of them will be three years old to the date. Since most Commercial Carrier companies state that there must be "No more than three preventables in the past three years" to qualify, will this better my chances of getting an OTR CDL drving job regardless of the vehicle size? I am more than willing to go to trucking school if I have to although I have a CDL. Can somebody PLEASE help me out with this question?

what you will run into now,is you havent driven in 3 years,the experience thing will get you.you may need to take a refresher course at a driving school.I think moose mentione the deer thin cause of me,i lost a contract for hitting a deer.MOst companies arent useing dac but are useing a different for of dac.also it's usually 2 in 3 years 3 in 4.

use it wisely ,(hint: once the 3 years are over with).

there is a good chance those accidents will not show there ,and if so you will be on the clear.
carriers are no longer looking at DAC.

Where did you hear that carriers are not using DAC? Just curious. I thought that's all they used.:cool:
