    Wow, that's a remarkably tolerant hiring policy for a company I have heard a lot of good things about.

    I think they look at it this way, "Anyone that had 3 preventables in the last 3 years will be extremely careful from now on."
    As far as I know, it's a very good outfit.

    Good luck to you man. Get out and look every single time you back now. The same mistake twice in a month is unacceptable

    Oh, trust me. Swift will give you LCQ and knock your ranking to Bronze for the next year, but I don't think your ### is grass JUST yet. ####, took me about the same amount of time after getting handed the keys to my own truck to end up in a similar situation to you. Just be sure to keep your nose clean for the foreseeable future and you should be fine

    I dont think Swift is going to fire you. Check the archives. There are far worse Swift accidents

    If you could tell me what you did wrong, and then told me the changes you would make in driving and backing, I wouldn’t fire you.

    Experience is the best education.
