    If you're religious you had better start praying. Maybe they go with the 3 strike policy. Now in the meantime stop hitting $#@&

    That's good trucking country. Maybe you won't lose your job, but if you do, NC has plenty of jobs for you.

    The mood of the safety guy/gal at the time they review the report probably is the biggest determining factor. I've seen folks keep their jobs for much more, and them fired for much less. I hope the best for you. #ranbypsychopaths

    Begging the safety dept will likely yield better results than, ahem, well you know...

    The hotel sounded friendly enough but if they haven't already they will call your company.They re going to want them
    to pay for the damage and it's not going to be cheap.You can tell safety you would be willing to pay for all the damage to the trk and hotel.In a trk stay away from those overhangs.

    No, that WAS my company. That was a employee from risk, but, they have'nt called me to the terminal yet. I actually have'nt heard anything, of course, it's only be 2 days. I'm fully expecting the worst. For now, I"m living in denial, running my loads like everything is normal. Hopefully I can make enough to rent a car for the ride home, I've got too much #### to take the dam bus. I"all go home, get a week at a over priced hotel, Asheville is expensive. Then I'll apply to all the companies I can. Then have the first cold beer I've had in awhile. Not much else to do I guess.

    They'll call you into safety probably when you get back to terminal.They won't discuss such matters over the phone.
