Is my trucking career over? Any advice is appreciated.

[RANDY BRATCHER]

Hello fellow drivers. Im new to the site and like what I see so far. I need advice. I started my career with Swift in 09 and ended I believe, with Celadon this past June. Before Celadon , I was with US Express for a short period of time. I was termed after 4 mo because I ran over my hrs 15 min. 1st offence. Ive been Termed again from Celadon for an unreported accident. I was turning the rig around at a customers and jack knifed slightly. But being termed from last 2 jobs look really bad. None of the large companies will even give me the time of day. Am I finished?

Not to be mean but yes You are done with your career the DOT rules are very strict you run over your hours once they see that you can end up wit a $5,000 fine plus its two points on your DMV and Daq record. When you don't report an accident and go on with out saying anything to the company they will find out about it from the customer where it happened at. Those two things like that no other company will not hire you. You will be lucky if you don't loose your license for at least a year.
