Hi Marge Bailey,
I got my CDL back in 2007, I went to work at a bus company, just to get some sort of experience under my belt, I have a young child, and cannot go over the road, as I'm seperated from my husband and am solely responsible for his well being. I am not young, I'm 46, when I got my regular license and CDL I had been 23 years without any accidents. in 2008 fate finally caught up with me, and as everything happens in 3's, I had 3 minor accidents within a 2 month period, have been accident free ever since. This has been keeping me from getting a driving job anywhere, including Pepsi, I was all set to work there, when they called and told me that their insurance co. refused to allow me to work for them, I have to wait till Oct. of 2011, then I can apply again, and my 3 years will be up. I've worked at some minor driving jobs since, but haven't been honest about my driving record. I have no points at all, the accidents consist of rubbing paint from my school bus onto a car fender when I had to move over to allow an Electric Co. truck go by on a curved road. Another was hitting someone who passed me on the left and got in front of my full sized bus stopped and made a left without giving me any room to come to a full stop before doing so. Luckily it happened in front of police, and my ticket was taken down to blocking traffic. My other accident was in my car, when I hit black ice while trying to park my car, the tires slid, and I tapped the car next to me, the driver was in it, no injury, just a dented passenger side fender. Meanwhile, my income has been non-existant at best, I have over 29 years of work under my belt, and have been collecting unemployment, which is about exhausted. I'm working on starting a Daycare in my home at present. I want to drive, is there any hope for me getting a driving job, prior to Oct. 2011?
