    Change your date.Sounds like it was indeed a mechanical failure and hope your company sees that.If you get fired for this you better fight it because they will put this on your DAC and a rollover is a huge deal.Alot of companies won't even accept one rollover.Glad you're alright.

    From your posting I would have to say your English skills are a bit taxed. Plus you seem to blame the mechanical failure for the accident when it was your failure to control the vehicle which caused the crash. Also you call it Non DOT reportable but if the trailer was on its side a Wrecker would have to be called and therefore it is DOT reportable. I would tell you to get your facts straight. Once you have done that and excepted responsibility, you might be able to find someone who will give you a chance but if you keep trying to blame something else, you haven't learned and I think you will have trouble.
