    I had 3 non preventable accidents on my dac when I left CRE. Now I have 5 all but one happened when I was sleeping, perfectly parked. If those show up on a DAC, I promise you, what you did will for shure.

    I really hope you get fired, and nobody else will hire you. There is no reason in this gods green earth for anybody to hit another drivers tractor or trailer when backing into a spot or for any other reason. Worst of all when you smashed into the other drivers equipment it shows up on there DAC as non preventable even though they were perfectly innocent.

    Just #### tired of reeetarted jackaces who shouldnt be driving bumping into me! I think the first time a driver backs into another truck they should loose there CDL for a year. Just no reason for it, if a driver has even the slightest amount of common sense they will never do it, dont take much common sense, just a tiny tiny bit to not bump into other trucks or trailers.

    Why do you do it? Why do you back into other drivers tractors or trailers? I want to know for reall.

    I didn't see where the OP said he hit someones truck. I saw where he screwed up a wheel, no description on the other two.
    I agree whole hearted on getting hit. My first night out with SNI, another guy swung his tail into my sleeper, man, that's a rude awakening! Somehow that didn't showup.
    I got sideswiped by a 4wheeler on I80/90, that did showup. I really don't know why one did, and the other didn't, I guess just discretion of the company ?

    I didn't hit another driver. wow.... there are alot of assumptions of what I here. I'm a safe driver, a hard worker, and an honest person. I regret even coming to this site to get advice.

    Hold fast homie, alot of people just talk a little trash to see how thick your skin is. Just wade through the crazy comments and the advice will soon follow. If you can't take the comments of a few old grunts playing with you are you really ready for the toils of trucking life. Keep searching and dont give up! Drive safe and perservere!

    Oh for gosh sakes, don't let the idiocy of one troll get under your skin! That is what he is trying to do.

    As the other serious posters have said, STAY WITH YOUR CURRENT COMPANY. Go for a year without any "incidents" and THEN you can think about moving to a "better" company. If there is such a thing. . .

    I want to caution you here. There is a school of thought that says if you have a series of "small incidents," you are a "major accident waiting to happen." ONLY YOU can prove them wrong.

    I don't know what you are doing or not doing that is giving you problems, but you need to figure it out post haste and get it corrected before you kill someone! There is no reason to think that you can't get this problem worked out. You just need to take however much time it requires, and think about what you are doing.

    You are human, as are we all. And even though SOME FOLKS HERE won't admit it, we have all had our share of problems, that we brought on ourselves.

    what i bolded, underlined and italic....

    "safe drivers" do not have 3 accidents/incidents..."newbies" that have THAT MANY are NOT SAFE...now i gave you some good advice, and did not poke fun at you, or insulted you.....but i will draw the line in the sand and stand up against your comment/statement that you are a "safe driver"....i even said in MY posting, (posting #7)that this was
    ...all of which you THANKED ME AND AGREED TO...!! [posting # 8]
    please DO NOT call yourself a "safe driver"......that in of itself, is an insult to all of us, since YOU POSTED you had accidents..???? how does having 3 accidents/incidents make you a safe driver..??

    you had better re-evaluate yourself. cuz i will not let this "safe driver" comment fly....
