2nd backing accident in over a month..most likely going to get terminated

Started out in May, never drove semi prior. Work for Swift, flatbed division.

First accident was on I-10. Had to make a right turn onto this small road, turned out I had to take the next right up ahead instead about 3 seconds down. Had to back up and get back on the interstate since there was a median on my side and that right turn wasn't possible to take in a truck anyways. Looked behind me, a car went around me. Saw no one else, backed up 2 or so feet and boom...kissed this lady's bumper. She was right up on my ### the entire time. I got let off the hook.

Today over a month and some change later, got my second backing accident at a truck stop. I was backing in next to this guy and he was looking out his window and motioning for me with his hand in a come here motion with all his fingers. Me being dumb for trusting him, thought he meant for me to keep backing up that I had enough clearance. I was wrong...ended up cracking his fender and breaking the plastic chrome thing around his headlights. He got out mad yelling at me. I was at the point just where I thought I was going to pivot just enough to start going by him. I told him man WHAT are you smoking?!? You were motioning for me to keep backing, I cant believe this. Witnesses all around said the same thing about how he was signaling for me to keep backing up and not honking instead. One of the witnesses works for my company which I gave the info to. The guy was mad saying, "you think I wanted him to hit my truck? I was trying to show him to stop." Texted the photos and this witness's truck number to back me up tomorrow.

Did not get out and look. People have guided me at truck stops all the time, I thought this guy was doing the same. First accident was july 15th. Today is second. Time to apply everywhere, I'm 99% sure I'm getting let go tomorrow.

He later apologized. I think he was sincere, there was just a severe miscommunication. Anyone would of thought the same thing if the other person motioned like that with their hand. There was absolutely NO mistake that this guy was motioning for me go keep on backing.

 

Yeah but..second time in over a month? I'm really gonna have a tough time with this new record getting hired.
