    The people in safety are pretty awesome. I hope you will be fine. I do know that if the side of the truck hits dirt you are done with no exception. Company policy.

    Anne forgot to set the parking brake at a truck stop and we rolled head on into another truck. All that really happened (after the crying stopped) was she was put on a one year probation and we got a new truck. We had only been driving about 6 weeks.

    I didn't get to deliver at all so I think that hurts me even more they had to reschedule and the tow company cut like 20 ft of the roof off cross braces and all even tho they were still intact. He told me its going to cost 16gs because they had to unload the trle before moving it into one of there's then when another Usx trailer arrives they reload it I just hate this I love my job if I can't drive a truck it's like wtf you know worse case scenario buy one? Lol that's how bad I want to drive
