Hey, new driver here. I am wondering if anyone can give some good input, maybe some personal experiences, about how well insurance/companies protect their drivers? I would assume they would have something in place to protect against insurance fraud? (Example. Someone drives into my intentionally.) I haven't started driving yet, I just graduated school, but I have problems with a stalker. Guys out of his mind, manipulative ####. Anyways I keep replaying this scenario out in my mind where somehow I hit him/he hits me, and it somehow ####s my life. It just worries me because he has bragged about his dad doing something similar to cash in. I'm only applying to places with cameras inside and out but I'm worried that's not enough. Should I tell the company I go with about this guy? I don't want to hurt my chances of getting a job, as I'm new and already limited, but I don't want something ####ing my life over either. Thanks ahead of time.

Wow...
And did you say your name was John F. Kennedy?
coz I cant believe what I just read (and the fact that you actually think it)...lol -
If you mention the guy to any company you apply with, they won't hire you.
Get a couple of GoPro cameras or some similar type and use them for side views.
The stalker won't be able to follow you all over the country anyway; the problem will be on hometime.
I'd file a police report about being stalked and threatened; this way if he does something there will already be a record of him being a problem. You can sue him before he gets the chance to sue you. Stalking is a crime. If you can hit him with a restraining order, then sue the next time it happens, it will get his attention.Last edited: Sep 3, 2017

I mean, how do you let someone screw with your brain that much?
If you claim that what you've tried to explain, is TRULY A REALITY, then trucking will make you lose your marbles so fast, you wont even know what hit ya.
You will deal with unrealistic, sometimes vindictive dispatchers, shippers/receivers who don't care about your HOS, DOT that expects you to be 100% on your P's & Q's wrt to your truck, car drivers that get annoyed with your big rig....Its a crazy world out there, and you are only getting started...BIGZILLA Thanks this. -

If the answer is no to both of these questions, you may want to consider moving out of your hometown and go 3 or 4 states away, switching your CDL from your home state to your new place of residence.
Instruct your family NOT to give out your new location.
After relocating, find an OTR driving job, driving SOLO, to all 48 states, and possibly to Canada. Be sure you have a passport for your Canadian trips, to be able to get back into the U.S.A..
Chances are, the stalker will quit stalking you, due to not being able to pin you down. In the mean time, you could be getting at several years of experience under your belt.
Whatever you do, do NOT tell a soul what is going on with you, as far as the stalker is concerned. It could come back to bite you in the rear. I kid you not.
In fact it is best to be careful who you talk to and what you say, concerning anything in your life that does NOT need to be made public.
Good luck to you! God bless you and your family!
God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
