A question for whoever else has been through this!

If you plan on finding a new job, one of the first things they'll want to know from the other company is "would they rehire you?" Obviously, that's not the case here. Secondly, only accidents go on your DAC, from what I've been told, not incidents. Now that is the interpretation of the company who you're driving for. I have 2 accidents in 5 years of driving. Just depends on the company you're applying to and their hiring policies. You've got a HUGE red flag right now, your last company won't rehire you.

 

You then work those 4 inches without getting into the bushes. You know how many pull-ups I've done with less than 6 inches of clearance from my grill to get into a tight spot? More than I can count.

 

Yuupppp (this is here because all that needed to be said was not enough, now it is. It's a pullup! Lol)

 

Believe it or not, that was one of the most difficult things to teach as an instructor. I realize that our OP has a few miles under his belt, so I'm not referring to him.

When I trained, I tried to teach the guys to work in small increments, to avoid over steer. Some figured it out, others couldn't grasp the concept. Some people seem to think the truck has to move at least 10 feet, for anything to actually happen.

Too many people lack the patience.

 

Most of them forget that 'oversteer' doesnt necessarily mean the tires...they forget that just turning the steering wheel a half turn is oversteering. Most corrections need a quarter turn or less...

 

Chele, are you scamming us? If not, pantherII.com is calling you. Start your trucking career over, real slow, driving a cargo van, then graduate upward to the bigger stuff, one step at a time. Go lay on the beach in Thailand, Costa Rica, Philippines, Panama, for awhile, then start over.

 

Any trucker knows, you should have not reported it until you went to a truckstop for lunch, etc. Then you call in and say someone hit your truck while you were inside. Trust me, it's the right thing to do.

 

Less than what it would be if they didn't have to repair your truck every week.
