my o.t.r. career may be over

Realistically, I would stay away from the industry for a while then take a refresher. 4 mishaps? Come on....

 

i think i had a few these so called scraps myself, i think with so much going on inside the cab , its very easy too get distracted , that why if i ever buy my own truck, it would have the fender skirts cams facing backwards, , my distraction was the ex wife at home, nothen bad, i just keep worrying about here as she safe and ok, stuff like that, like when that major torando rolled over the city, yes i did not get much sleep that night, as the phones were out, but i think , the biggest carriers should have a head shrink office, too go and confirm with the driver as too why he doing this, instead of bashing the driver and ding up his dac, the office's safety and head shrink would compare notes and see if hes still have a chance and mayby recomend him too his doctor,if otherwise hes a good driver, and go to his head shrink for more help, just a couple thoughts i had

Quit whnning,

find another driving job,

and pay attention to what you're doing !!!!!
