    Hey I was getting out of a tight spot and my trailer swung into the trucks mirror next to me and broke it. My question is this going to affect me finding work? I'm 1 year in with a mega carrier and was planning on going local since I've put in my dues with the mega carrier but now I'm nervous this is gonna mess up my plans.

    I'm not trying to be a Richard, but if you're unable to make that maneuver stick with the mega a little longer. Rookie mistakeS like that could cost you a better gig, where as a mega that hires trainees is more forgiving.

    Braking the mirror, vs scratching it. I stand by what I said regardless of the fact some people think damaging equipment is normal.

    1 year in and this is my only incident, think I'm doing ok. I was dealing with a reffer issue and should have examined my exit better. But I'm definitely ready to get off the road lol
