    Well look at Mr. Perfect not yet a veteran but sure talking like one I miss a couple of your wishes but hay some boxers go undefeated some don't just because they lose their career is over ? Many people fall down but it takes a real man to get up. come on only a ignorant will think they have a perfect tomorrow.

    I'm a little confused. You make it sound like another truck hit you while you were sitting still and you got charged with it?

    Real men accept responsibility and don't pass blame. When you accept responsibility they know you learned from it. When you pass blame you haven't learned a thing. This is a minor deal so getting fired had to do with the trainer's perception of you and your abilities. By the tone of your post I sense a little attitude problem.

    Yes you can find another job. Will there be rejection? Yes, but someone will give you a chance. You just have to look harder.

    So was these preventables your fault or not?Im having a tough time getting heads or tails out of your post.If theyre not your fault then why go back to school.Just start with another starter company and see if you can go thru the entire training again.I think more people then not here feel you were at fault and you won't take blame for your actions.Listen,many of us have had accidents in trucking and will admit to it.Im not afraid to admit when I do something wrong and I offer to pay for it.When something happens you need to talk to someone other then your dispatcher.Drivers get second and third chances because they talk to someone hire up and make some sort of a deal.In other words suck up and take blame once in a while if youre at fault.How many preventables have you had?I think more then one as to why I see more to this story that you're telling us.

    Not true the stop sing they already told me I should've stop it was a stop sing before the gate where you put the info of your trailer in the computer but I just slow down because there's only space for a truck to barely fit in well no one stops unless someone is infront of you it has one of those sings that says stop proceed when it's clear I bet there's more to it but that's what we talked about before me being terminated .

    You did THAT with a trainer / tester in your truck and wonder WHY you were TERMINATED :biggrin_25513:

    About the blame if you want a straight answer I'm not saying it was his fault never did and I never had it in mind until now because I read your comment but about the attitude I'll lie to you if I didn't get mad at him but showing it never did I took it in a professional matter I'm just here to see if you guys had a place in mind or an advice how to put my termination in my resume because obviously it looks awkward I'm not offending anyone but everyone seems to be ofended calling me a liar much respect and God bless you thanks for your comment.

    The mirrors I was alone afterwards they send me to park in every angle possible even had me park in my blind spot and I pass not knocking any cones but after they took my to a road test with a trainer all of this happened after the mirrors incident but don't be surprised some trucking companies are just ##### wholes I met this guy at a truckstop the other day he said his friend gave a two week notice and was told to leave the truck at the companies near by yard he had to buy his ticket back home to Ohio from Wisconsin it turn out that the company said he abonded his truck so just imagine but best of luck to you sir take care
