    I come on the internet for advice and I'm meet with condescension. I know I messed up badly. I know I shouldn't have done. No need to be a snarky a-hole. I made a mistake coming here.

    There are two brothels in Wells, they take turns on the cb, one will advertise for an hournthen it is the others turn. lol
    I stayed in a camp ground there two summers while we were doing a road job, and would aggravate the gals on the cb, asking where this garage sale was located and such. lol

    Where u live?

    The part that concerns me more is the falling asleep, crashing, and getting a ticket. That's more serious than the backing accident and not reporting-----that's just stupid and can be fixed BY NOT DOING IT AGAIN.

    Now, i THINK i know what i'm doing and yet I'M having microsleeps lately. Which is why i'm switching back to daytime only work.

    i was going suggest becoming a pump jockey. We have, at large hubs, gals and guys who do nothing but fill up fuel tanks of incoming trucks---and check oil and wash windows etc. i think other LTL companies have this although NEMF just went out of business.........

    Or work the docks at an LTL company. We pay $29 per hour at top rate and i'm sure FedEx freight is not far behind.

    With these two suggestions, you can still be around trucks. And when you "mature" (mature isn't really the right word, but you know what i mean.....) you can try driving again. When the LTL companies find out you have a CDL, they'll be over the moon (however, i wouldn't apply for a driver position----only apply for dock. Because if you apply as driver there's no way they'll hire you with your history.....)
