    I agree best way is tell the truth, and don't try hiding nothing. Says a lot about your integrity as a commercial driver.

    Think its better to give your accoumt of the accident than not giving one. The company can then assume what happened.

    We're you taking a banked turn slowly and the trailer slid downhill to the inside of the turn, or did the trailer slide to the outside of the turn? OR was snow not a factor and you misjudged the turn?
