Got Fired Due To Accident, Who Can Help

Asian proverb: "No such thing as bad students; only bad teachers." From your description of the events, I would say his trainer FAILED to tell him he should increase his following distance to factor poor visibility and limited traction due to snow/ice on the pavement. When I drive in the snow, I maintain a minimum 10 seconds of following distance. When your brakes are wet, there's a 2 to 3 seconds' delay before your vehicle begins to slow down. The brakes have to dry first before friction takes place to convert kinetic energy (vehicle movement) into heat energy. A vast majority of rookie drivers get into accidents because of incompetent driver trainers. If experience is a factor to accidents, then why are there no reports of plane crashes from rookie pilots with less than 1,000 hours of flying ?? The trucking industry is plagued with incompetent trainers who produce incompetent drivers, who themselves must learn from their mistakes. In your husband's case, he now realizes his trainer neglected to tell him to increase following distance.

 

I like the swift quote signature.LOL

 

de Boer transport will take anyone with a pulse and a class A CDL. When it's time to move on from this bottom feeder outfit, don't give notice, just jump. They'll try to lose you somewhere away from home and forget how to get you back there. That being said, they're a good way to get your foot back in the door. Tolerate the crappy pay, equipment, shop people, and treatment for a year and all the doors will open back up to you.
