Can’t find a company that will hire me after 3 incidents!

While many view Swift as a bottom feeder and willing to hire anyone, that only goes so far.
Once you get bad with them for too many 'incidents', or accidents as they are more commonly known, you should not ever count on being rehired.
The same if your on-time or reliability or safety record is not that good.

Why should they take the chance, when it might cost them millions in the end?

 

Tbh, you shouldn't of quit till you were hired by someone else. But, I digress. Check Western Express.

 

I know you learned this the hard way, but for others , and it applies to any career field..

Never quit one job until you have another better job offer in writing , and have all the hiring paperwork done and over with . And a firm start date at the new job.

And like suggested. You need to find out exactly what Swift is saying to the other companies .

 

Sorry to be so abrasive but who are you to call these very minor accidents?

every incident costs money, not your money but someone’s money and to think that you can just chalk it up to something that is trivial seems to be the bigger problem for everyone in this industry. I had to deal with crap drivers from other companies causing damage to my trucks and trailers, costing me thousands in repairs and downtime. Insurance only covers so much which is not understood be drivers.

You should have not quit, swift allowed you to continue and I would think that your skills are in need of at least two years with them because obviously if they know about your little accidents, they don’t care to fire you.

go back to swift.

 

If you think it’s unsafe, or you can’t do it, and you do it anyhow, and don’t take time to practice backing, say in an empty parking lot when your say, watching tv or waiting for a load why take a chance on backing when you know you’re probably going to hit somebody’s equipment?
In nine month did you ever take time and learn backing?
Some learn to back more quickly than others, some practice, pick a spot, park, act as if you get out of the yellow lines you’d just hit a truck.
Practice Practice Practice.

If you think it’s unsafe, don’t do it.

 

How many incidents would you think indicate a driver isn't paying attention to driving/backing?

 

Carolina Cargo won't hire him because it's no longer a 2nd chance company. Need a clean record and 12 mos. experience. The pay there is on par with other teaming companies also.

 

One.
