    Seems trucking is NOT for you. Find a different field.

    I was on my toes. I didn’t have any incidents. I was always on alert of my surroundings. Better yet, I started in flatbed and had the load to worry about also. Individuals who have incidents(preventable), and you have 3 already, your future does not look well. I’ve been at it 46 years.

    I wouldn’t quit. If you still have that driving job, keep at it. Learn from your mistakes and move on. I threw a little sarcasm.
