4 preventables in my rookie year.

You'll have better success if you submit online applications before any phone calls. Do the online applications then follow with phone calls tomorrow.

 

My hood may be minor to you but it isn't to me ... after the first incident if you haven't learned to G.O.A.L. You don't belong in trucking

 

There are 500 companies run by eastern Europeans that will hire anyone that can breathe on their own in greater Chicago

 

An accident is when something gets BROKEN, People get HURT or KILLED.

Incidents like whoops bump into the dock too hard... big deal. Unless some teetoltaler turned you in. You do not volunteer nothing to a prospective company. But you say you had 4 preventables. Fine. Either explore a different industry al together or you need to stop having preventables or eventually even DAC will STOP you from getting hired for months if not years if your next accident is high enough in costs.

A thousand Chinatowns cannot help you in that situation at that point.

You cannot be running into stuff and doing damage or killing. You simply will not be allowed to. If you cannot adopt that particular strong safety position for yourself from here on out and be a safe driver, then don't waste your time hiring on to trucking. You will simply get fired again and again until no one hires you at all.

It's a self weeding industry. Bad apples get weeded out. Don't be a bad apple. You learned your lesson and resolve to be a good boy.

 

Sounds like somebody needs to get retrained.I can't blame companies for not hiring you they have their equipment to think about.

 

Not just Equipment, but he's a Liability Risk.

He may have backed into solid objects before, but there's a high percentage that with such poor backing skills he may hit, injure or kill a person next time, and that's a risk no Company is going to take.

If you don't have the skills to back up a Semi Truck without hitting anything, then it's time to move on to a different Career Field.

I can understand one time as a Rookie, but four times in one year?

It's time to flip burgers or go back to school and get trained for a different Career..

Driving Semi Trucks, (I mean Driving in Reverse) is definitely not his forte.

 

Backing is deffinately a necessity in this field.Four preventables in a year is way too many.More ppl then not in today's trucking doesn't receive enough training.Sure they might receive like 6 weeks but for some they need more and won't ask for a few extra weeks with a trainer.Everyone advances at a different pace.

 

Have you thought of double flatbeds or hoppers or bottom dumps? They don't usually back up
