If you were turned down. it was due to your work history, criminal history, or MVR, I would check my records if I was you to make sure somthing isnt wrong with your background..

Some trucking insurance companies have problems with DUIs REGARDLESS OF AGE.
You state you have TICKETS yet (to you) nothing major. What KIND of tickets--Speeding, reckless, what?
One ACCIDENT--WHAT was involved? Property damage, injuries, ?? How RECENT are the tickets and accident?
Those possibly HAVE A LOT to do with WHY you're not being considered and as well any criminal record check(s) that induce (pose) questions.

Considering some of the (questionable) people werner has employed, I cannot understand the mentality of their insurance carrier or of werner itself in not considering a applicant with a DWI, DUI or OUI that is exceedingly beyond the standard record check of 3, 5, 10 years.
It's just another laceration we get when we have such as a still listed (on our state mvr) 18-22+ year old misdemeanor that hasn't otherwise even been seen.
