    None of this was actually done in traffic. Actually in a truck stop moving forward turning too quickly and not allowing space for the trailer to come round. While in traffic i stay in my lane. Ill edit the post if i can to better identify what happened.

    Here's two that hire with 3 preventable in 3 years. That pull may not be a hindrance; don't put it down as an accident.

    National Carriers

    i’ve tried them. they said no due to schneider listing it as a preventable and thus 4 preventables.

    Forgetting airlines is a screw up sure, but to be considered a "preventable accident" is absurd. Having a stuck truck pulled shouldn't be considered an accident either.

    How bad were these trailer scrapes? Like did you damage another truck badly? Enough to have a significant repair bill?

    I thank you for the opinion. You have truth in what you’re writing. A little about me, up until this point in my life, i was a bubble boy, never left my room unless it was for work or to eat. Unless it was mandatory i just never left. Then one day i took my tests passed them and now bubble boy is driving across the us and for the time figure things out and make my own decisions. Im not asking for pity or none of that. Just givin a lil info so you can understand how hard of a 180 my life took around this point in time.

    Any damage is a significant bill these days.
    I would not call the air lines an accident either, but apparently schneider does, I guess it is preventable. lol

    Took out a tail light on a tanker which took out a light on my skirt. The other one the damage was noticeable but nothing you couldnt take a magic marker to.

    They dont specify the accident. They just call it damage to company equipment and ding it as an accident.
