I went to FFE as a starter company i did my 6 weeks of training and 2 weeks out solo. I did good on my first load out. after i picked up my second load i missed my turn and then the gps routed me to a dirt road (big ########## mistake) i didnt take a curve wide enough got the trailer tires (passenger side) stuck in a ditch causing the load to be late. the tow bill for that was almost 500 bucks. during the time i waited on the tow truck to arrive i sent a message to my DM saying i didnt feel comfortable being out by myself. so he got me IC with another driver and then got me a load going back to the home terminal. and on this load i ran out of hours. i know this all boils down to trip planning but the trainer i had didnt explain it to me very throughly. after i got back to the terminal i was having some chest pains and i went and told safety about it. So i went home saw my regular doctor and a cardio doctor both of them couldnt find anything wrong with me. by the time i was ready to go back out on the road i was past my 30 day medical leave. I called up safety and they to get them a
doctors note and i did. i mentioned to them i was working a side job. safety told me that it is against company policy for an employee who is on medical leave to work another job which i think is total bull #####!!!!! so she told me to talk to the HR department so i did. They said since i failed to do anything (and communicate with them) to return to work during those 30 days or whatever that they were terminating my employment and putting down as i "vulontarly quit" The reason i waited is cause we had a CPS case on us cause we were living with my dad in a camper trailer and to make it worst is that he was smoking weed. so CPS advised us to find another place to live and so we did.
My question is this: based on what i said will this prevent me from getting another trucking job if i tried to go to another company that takes on student drivers or will they see me as a risk. i really dont want to put FFE down on my work history but they are the only ones i been with so far and i graduated from trucking school back in december 2012.

Dude u don't want to hear
this but trucking probably isn't for u! I understand that what u said is probably the truth but no company wants to hear it. Its all excuses!!! 30 day off for chest pains but u was working another job during that time = BULL**** !!!!!! Listen to yourself; I did this but this happened, I should of done this but I DID this, Somebody else did this so don't blame me its not my fault ect. You had responsibility's and u fail at each turn. You are high maintenance with no up side in this industry. When we pass you on the big road how will we know we can trust you to do the right thing???:smt102
