    Too many in such a short time.You need training all over.How was your driving while in training?Was you ready to go solo when they turned you loose or did you feel you needed more training?So tell me,how do you knock down a traffic lite?Had maybe only one mishap companies would hire you but 3 not likely anytime soon.Just telling you this so you can get prepared for a long road ahead .

    Aaaaaahhhhh I think I might change my carrier path
    its just I feel I have been cursed!!

    and by the way I believe I am a good driver, but with less experience!

    specially when it came to accident no2-3
    in no2 this was less experience
    in no3 it was very minor hit, but the company needed a claim no :(

    Pattyj, since I cant even understand this guy and I don't have too much experience either, what is he talking about in the 2nd incident? I dont drop and hook often, but every time I have hooked up, I back up under the trailer with the airbags raised. Am I missing something?
