know of any trucking co.s willing to hire driver with termination for backing accident?

The trucking industry is hurting right now because of the fuel ‘crisis.’ However, that doesn’t mean there are not opportunities out there. If you are not willing to relocate, this may make your options limited, but not horrible. The larger companies like FedEx Ground and DHL may help you get set up with an independent contractor model, but like you said, UPS probably wouldn’t consider you as of yet. The smaller to medium sized companies are going to be the best places to start. I woould re-post with what areas (location, city, state) you are looking to get hired.

My Best,

Contact a broker/agent. They usually have less stringent requirements, but just how much damage did you cause with this backing accident? If it was listed as a "major" accident on your DAC / MVR, you're going to suffer it for a while. All companies have insurance & risk to consider. Most of the large carriers are self-insured, so they eat the entire cost of damage & litigation. And if you went the owner-operator route, you'll incur high insurance premiums for your self-coverage.

try to find a company that moves farm equipment. or supplies. they usually don't do a check and pay a little better also.
