Fired...

3 accidents in 8 months is not too professional either! By the way, you never went into any detail on the accidents wether or not they were preventable or not even your fault so what did you expect here?

 

you can have your karma--i prefer a K-bar myself---its more controllable

 

Three accidents in 8 months, looks like Karma got you. Settle down, you gave no info, what do you expect. If you can't handle a little jokeing around, Trucking may not be for you.

 

I like that truck photo! Different than most...

To the O/P. Try a logging truck company. You can pretty much run into anything you want to in the woods and nobody will care. Unless you live in Oregon. In that case, the enviro-nuts will have something to say.

 

The guys that own the truck will care.

 

After 3 accidents in 8 months......................

 

I've seen it in a few different threads, people ripping on dump truck drivers and log truck drivers....but I guarantee, an "average" dump bucket or stick hauler would run circles around a vast majority of you freight haulers. Don't take much skill at all to hold a wheel, set the cruise, and keep it between the ditches on the superslab.

Try running 2-lane roads over hills and around curves where the fog line is right on the edge of the pavement, which drops off 2-3 inches onto a very narrow grass shoulder before plunging into the ditch, and the tires on your trailer are touching both the fog line AND the double yellow. Now meet an oncoming truck on that road, both of you running 55-60 mph.

...and that's if there's any lines at all painted on the road.

Start down a rain-soaked coal-dust covered slicker-than-snot dirt path on a steep hill with a switchback about half way down...make sure you keep an eye on that trailer, because the brakes are locking up and it's trying to pass you. It's a balancing act between braking to keep your speed down and letting off the brakes to keep the trailer behind you. If you make it down, you can get loaded...and then you have to climb back out.

Or navigating your way into the woods on a 2-track path, tree branches smacking both mirrors and rubbing on both sides of the truck....but you need to be facing the other way to get loaded. To turn around, you have a 15' wide break in the trees that you have to get that trailer jacked into, get the tractor turned around, and pull back out of.

I've watched some of you freight haulers try for over an hour to straight-line back into a dock...most of ya wouldn't last 2 weeks in a dump or log truck.

 

No four wheelers on that road though... heheheheee

1)We need much more detail here.
a) i would suggest at this point to use proper spelling and grammar. i feel it would be best given your precarious situation. Online dictionaries are right at your fingertips.


2) How much money you got? i'm talking liquid cash AND assets. You're in a very tight spot. You don't have a choice but to tell.
