Sometimes you are handed really crummy equipment. The old chain latch system on trailers really is horrible if you don't have a large hook. I learned to carry a bungee cord after losing a hinge. But it was the right door, on a foggy night with terrible visibility. I had already gotten out and looked, but when I put the truck in reverse it obviously came unchained (whomever designed that system should be shot). So I bumped the dock and broke a hinge. I shouldn't have to re-engineer equipment to drive.
Probably fired and want more training

It is entirely possible. I am dating someone with 5 years experience who can dock jackknifed. It averages out to “a decent driver.” It’s like when you order fries around your girlfriend and it’s automatically “our fries...”

We have one genius that should’ve been cut loose a long time ago. He rode with 2 different drivers for a month each, both of which told the TM not to hire this guy. The TM hired him anyway.
About 2 months later the idiot tore the roof off a straight truck under a clearly marked low bridge.dwells40, They Call Me Miss Frizzle, Sirscrapntruckalot and 2 others Thank this. -
