Try any and every company. In the future, if you gotta turn around, take a look at your space available. If you gotta turn the wheel all the way til it can't turn anymore, you may end up truck amd trailer to jackknifed to make that turn. You only make those maneuvers of you have plenty of space. Sometimes it ain't enough space to make that turn, so I have to back into a space to get turned around. If you're unsure about a maneuver, follow that instinct.
Truckermania Thanks this. -
I'm simply appalled at this. Terminated for a minor thing like a bent fairing? It's no wonder the frustration of that fella that rammed the stolen semi into the DOT building. While I don't recommend such drastic measures, that guy took matters into his own hands. I would be pretty upset, and whoever fired me for this, would be pricing dentures. Here's a driver, went through all the hoops, and MADE IT TO THE SEAT, only to be blackballed for something as minor as a bent fairing. And where was the trainer? Shouldn't they be partially responsible? No wonder we need drivers, I certainly wouldn't put up with this crap. Good luck, and thanks to our electronic records system today, sadly, for future prospects, one look at your record, it probably doesn't list the infraction, just a red flag.

It was the trainers responsibility. Not yours. That stinks.
Try Craigslist. Local or wherever you want to work. I've had good luck there. -
