Sometimes there's some owner-operators on Craigslist that are single truck owners and need a team mate to run California turns. May have to leave some phone messages for those guys.

 

It's an incident if you stomp on your brakes and spill your coffee...if you hit something it's an accident !

Try to have a learning moment here. They fired you for having minor accidents. They are not waiting for you to hit the shipping clerk as she waddles out of her going away party on her first day of maternity leave.

When I first learned to drive these big trucks I wondered how someone could go a million miles without hitting something. After my training I wonder how everyone can't go a million miles safely.

Here is your learning moment. Every accident is caused by a microsecond or less of inattention. All the crosses you see by the highway are inattention, very brief, but catastrophic. Your minor "incidents" are inattention. The only difference is you haven't killed anyone....yet.

Please learn why you hit stuff and learn how to stop it. Seriously, I wish you luck in figuring it out.

 

Good point, there.

 

You'll do fine.

 

Refer to them as incidents, not accidents. Believe it or not, those two words make a lot of difference during a job interview or on a job application.
