I made 2 stupid mistakes and got fired from the company with one of the worst reputations in the business.
My first mistake was a violation for parking on the side of the road in an emergency, and it turned into an accident. I didn't set my parking and trailer brakes. (I know.... it was stupid accident.) A rig drove by, and the wind caused my truck to start rolling, and it rolled in a small ditch, which required my rig to be towed.
My most recent stupid mistake happened at a customer. They had signs everywhere saying 'Tandems must be slid all the way to the rear while on XXXX property.' So when I made my drop, I figured I had to wait until I passed the guard shack to slide my tandems on the empty I just picked up. When I got to the guard shack I started looking for a place to slide the tandems, or a sign telling me where to do it. I was going about 4mph, turning into the very narrow lane to exit, and trying to make sure I didn't hit any of the inbound trucks. When I checked my mirror, my tandems were rubbing against the guardrail, which dented. It didn't do much damage, honestly, but it was my entirely my fault.
The reason I was so concerned about my tandem position is that I had 2 overweight violations last year when I was still brand new.
I understand how important safety is in this industry, and I've learned from my mistakes.
I'm willing to run as many miles as you can offer, and I couldn't care less about hometime. In fact, I've been on the road since January and only shut down for restarts, maintainence, and once to have a tooth pulled. If you have a Michigan terminal & you're looking for a solo driver with about a year & a half of experience & a couple stupid mistakes in his past, please contact me. (If you don't have a Michigan terminal, I'm willing to move if you can set me up with a temporary address. )
