I've just been fired from large company for having 3 preventable dings within 12 months. I had 20 months at another company before that with a good record. Am I still employable as a truck driver?

The question is, with three preventables in 12 months, why would you want to be? I'm thinking maybe trucking isn't meant for you?Gizmo_Man Thanks this.

Let me get this clear:
1. Your "historical average time per employer" is about 1.5 years.
2. During the past year...your "awareness factor" has hit bottom.
3. Now that you are unemployed...you have decided to be a better driver!
The smaller outfits often don't use DAC/HireRight....you need to find those so you can "fudge" on your application....unless those "dings" are on your DMV print out... -
McDonald's perhaps.
This is a troll post.Truck609, mgfg, Southpaw7391 and 3 others Thank this. -
how do you hit that much stuff in such a short time....WOW
DID you ever think to get out and look before doing something...
I dont care if its snowing or raining...get off your duff and go check things out before YOU HIT them....after 20plus years of driving if in DOUBT get OUT and look I still do that...guess thats why I HAVENT HIT ANYTHING...
and to answer your question NO you are not hirable...DrtyDiesel and Wargames Thank this. -

My buddy out of school with me dinged 2 trucks, hit 2 buildings, tore the back door off the truck save 1 hinge so it was swinging, took off a gutter, hit a walkway railing, and lastly took the front end off some poor guys Peterbuilt pulling into a truckstop one night. He got one preventable after all this. Good news for us and everyone walking the earth he no longer drives "professionally".

PS. This was all in his first 3 months lol. -
Let me know when and where he's driving, so I can be in my house that day.
Wargames, HeWhoMustNotBeNamed and Gizmo_Man Thank this. -
If you are going to be the target....why don't you sit in front of a Swift or England terminal...and save your house!
LSAgentOZR, walstib and HeWhoMustNotBeNamed Thank this.
