I sincerely hope that none of them will. Most reputable companies can't afford the extra insurance costs of a driver who has an accident every year, whether there are injuries or not.

Swift will. Swift will hire anyone. Don't, however, sign with Schneider, JB Hunt, Covenant, CR England,. Dart, HO Wolding, or US Xpress. These are 7 of the 9 motor carriers who petitioned the FMCSA two weeks ago to mandate all trucks built since 1990 be governed at a maximum speed of 68 mph. This is in violation of FMCSR 396.7 (a) General — A motor vehicle shall not be operated in such a condition as to likely cause an accident or a breakdown of the vehicle.

None. You are to much of a risk and would be a liability to them.
If and when you have your fourth accident the trucking company would be sued and the plantiffs lawyer would have your driving record pulled, they would question why someone with your record was hiried in the first place.
Time to learn a new profession.

If they're not your fault,and you can prove it,(copies of OFFICIAL accident reports) you may have a leg to stand on. But if you've been driving that many years you know the old saying "If a big truck's involved your guilty until PROVEN innocent".

Maybe you should reevaluate your driving practises and habits. I'm sure glad to hear that no people have been involved YET. If you were the owner would you be the next new hire?
