Pretty sure about to be fired so quit instead?

I've been driving 16 months now with a mega carrier. I had a minor accident while I was with my trainer after 5 days. I was put on probation for cell phone use a few months back. I have been doing really good untill a few days ago. I was coming up on a traffic light and it turned yellow at a bad spot and the road was wet. I braked as soon as it turned yellow but started skidding so I let up untill it stopped skidding and re applied the brake. It started skidding again untill I stopped. I ended up stopping 5-6 feet in front of the white line so technically I ran the light. I wasn't speeding but I'm aware now I should have been going slower in case the light turned. I'm almost certain I will be fired. My question is should I quit to avoid being fired? It's going to be tough to find another trucking job if I'm fired for safety violations. I've learned from the mistake but I don't think that will matter since I'm already on probation. I wouldn't just leave the truck sitting. I would take it to a terminal. I know they can still put whatever they want on my DAC report but I think being terminated would be worse. I am not happy with them anyways for various reasons but mainly because my check is always short and sometimes if I complain it will be on my next check and sometimes it won't be. Last week I was shorted $170. Let me know what you think please.

 

I was not on the phone and didn't get a ticket. I'm on probation because I was caught by the camera with my phone in my hand looking at it a few months ago.I was not speeding but should have been going slower for the road conditions. I noticed a little black ice too but not untill I had stopped. Wasn't much but enough that could have caused me to skid worse. The camera went off because of the hard braking. Wouldn't of had a problem stopping if the road was dry. I've hard braked on wet roads before but never skidded. I think it was the little bit of ice that was the main problem. That and not going slow enough for the road conditions. This company is pretty strict so I'm almost certain I'll be terminated. If I am, from what I've read it will be hard to get another job. I was planning on giving a two week notice untill this happened because I found a company that I'm interested in where I'll be home every night. That plan will probably not happen now.

 

Problem is their mind may be made up before they call. Guess I'll see.

 

Already thought of that also but not sure if that'll be an option. I'll definitely ask.
