Will I ever get another truck driving job?

As long as they didn't give you an equipment abandonment, you are fine. Since you left it at a terminal they probably won't. Check your DAC anyway.

 

Helpful hint, on your posts:
Not trying to criticize you, but it's really hard to read and refer back to certain info, when it's put into 1 looong paragraph, with no breaks.
Try to put a double-enter line spacing every 3-4 lines or so.

Whichever company you are with is abundantly negligent, in expecting you to go completely solo after only 3 days of training.
That's simply outragous. Any decent company would have you spend at least 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your skills/progression, before saying "take it from here".
You should have accepted the extra training, but then again, I wonder what the company considers "extra"?? Another 3 days? That would be a joke.

Anyhow, I can't see this being a dead end to your trucking career. Any decent company, if you explained you left due to only 3 days training, should understand.
Which company was this, if you don't mind me asking?

 

The Cajun is right...3 days...gimme a break. Try and find something local to you maybe at a construction company , or a beverage company to start with , maybe even an LTL company that will let you be a yard man for awhile til you get comfortable...Or you may need to do some serious soul-searching about your choice to be a driver , to some folks it can be very intimidating, nothing wrong with that..not everyone is out for this line of work.

 

You got on with a bad company. Go with someone who will train you longer. After training, do team for a few months till you build back up your confidence.

You can do this. Don't give up

 

What company was this? You should of taken up their offer for more training. I remember my first solo trip I was a nervous wreck. You just need more practice.

 

You need at least 6 weeks on the road training with a mentor.

this is not something you just get into, say, like driving a car etc.

you can do it but you you have to run with a trainer. I would recommend knight or Stevens. Don't lose hope.

 

Paragraph breaks would be nice. I think you're ok. Companies don't really care if you left the truck at a terminal. Check your DAC anyway. If they give you a vehicle abandonment you can fight it. The way the industry is you'll have another job if you want it.

I'm sorry to hear your first time out was such a disaster. Trip planning is vital. Look at a map. Call the customer for directions if need be. A second gps navigation device is expensive but worth it. When one messes up switch to the other. Never let it drive your truck. Every navigation will tell you to do stupid things sometimes.

The company should have given you better training, and you should have asked for it. The truth is these types of problems become far more manageable as you gain more experience. You recognize bad situations and avoid them. Sometimes I just pull over and make the call particularly when I deliver to construction sights. Oftentimes the address has not even been established or posted yet. Message me if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

 

It's swift. Right?
