    Usually one backing incident they won't fire you.

    But yes they will trick a driver in a heartbeat to get them back to the terminal.

    You have been selected for a random drug test, the shop has to work on your truck, remedial training... they are good at lying! :)

    At least you have some insight. There are many drivers that are surprised.

    I wouldn't read too much into it, although it does show you are conscientious. If that's the worse you have to worry about, you will be fine.

    You should just show up at the terminal and walk into safety's office with 2 big ugly Hells Angles at your side. Ask em when the backup training will start. They may be slightly persuaded to just let you do the backup training like they said...

    My company makes you retrain after an accident no matter how many years you been driving. My trainer has trained guys for 7 days with 20 years experience. Now if they refused training then out of a job. Id just go with it and see what happens.
