Not sure how that works or if that's even possible. But anyway - it's not on my record at this point.
If asked, should I not bother to put this accident on job applications since it's not showing up on my record?

Seems odd that if you only had this one mishap that you are getting rejected.

:?: CDLIS and PDPS Checks (49 CFR 383.73 and 23 CFR 1327.5) I'm not sure if companies like Roehl or Schneider will even consider me.
