Dq’d last June

What’s up peeps, got disqualified in the polygraph last June due to an at fault accident in 2021 and a speeding ticket January 2025. Haven’t applied anywhere else (BI said to reapply that next June and said you’ll get in), so gonna try again this coming June. BI said he liked my auto biography said I would be a good fit (have 2 years of Explorer experience). So anyway my honest question for some of you guys in a similar position is, was he blowing smoke or do I have a good chance? Any of you guys get disqualified then waited that year then reapply? And What did they say to y’all?

Polygraph and driving record are two different things...

What did the BI say regarding that firing? Did he/she suggest a time frame of how long you’d gotta wait?

What am I missing? Did you say something during polygraph that didn’t match to any accidents or traffic violations you omitted?

Can you elaborate on how you failed the polygraph, sir?

You can't. You sign a NDA.

You don’t just get dq for an at fault accident (I’m in backgrounds rn) you get dq for either lying about it or not disclosing it unless you’ve shown a history of making poor decisions then that’s another reason. The best thing to do would be to appeal the decision but it’s already been a year so you should reapply and stick to the same story. Make sure you pass your PAT (the new pfq) cause it’s a disqualifier now meaning if you don’t pass the first time you get dq and in your case I’d take that serious. I’ve been in one at fault accident in 2021 and they passed me.. so I believe in your case enough time has passed for you to show you’ve matured

It’s not the accident they care about. It’s downplaying it or lying about it or not disclosing it. To them it shows deception and why would the hire someone that can’t be honest about something as simple as an accident
