    Mine did too. We weren't allowed to drive between 2 am and 5 am. Mine had a dedicated route though. Left monday evening to pick up load. Arrived Wednesday and dropped trailer in yard and practiced backing and all that. Showered and waited for load to leave Wednesday night. Arrived Friday morning. Dropped trailer and went home for the weekend. The picks and drops from base rotated every week. And were either 30 miles to the south or north. But destination was always the same. Spartanburgh.

    Just blame it all on the trainer and ask for a different trainer

    The first incident......things happen everyone has done that at one point or another. I'm sorry but your second incident is downright funny! In this industry, you better learn to laugh at yourself. High YouTube potential

    All that said, you have a sucky trainer. The trainer should have been you're teacher and second set of eyes while you learn ..... It isn't the end of the world. You didn't jack knife or roll over. Somebody will take a chance on you
