<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mwarren89, post: 11687446, member: 326312&quot;]Joined this group as I find myself reading your guys forums alot... place definetly has alot of great info... </p><p>I am in training right now ... around 100 hours in and the unthinkable happened...</p><p><br /></p><p>I was pulling out of a parking lot at a fuel station... the turn leaving the station was somewhat of an L shape and while I was sitting waiting for the clear to pull out it left my trailer sitting at about a 45 degree angle behind me... as I was waiting to pull put a car pulls into the parking lot and as he drives down the side of my truck he notices he doesn&#039;t have enough room to squeeze between my trailer and the curb due to the angle of the trailer... he stopped somewhere around my drive axle as I seen him stop in the mirror... so I looked right again on the road to make sure I was still clear then preceeded to pull out... as the truck starts moving no more than maybe 1mph my trainer says woa!! I hit the brakes and he says I think that guy hit us... so after I seen him stopped in my mirror I had preceeded to pull out and obviously he decided he could fit.....now I know I moved forward maybe 3 to 5 ft before my trainer noticed he tried to squeeze me and we made contact.... I don&#039;t really wanna put my company name out here but it is a mega carrier that does training... they got me on a safety hold right now and dispatched us a load back so he can get me to the terminal where I am supposed to sit down with safety... I&#039;m scared to death guys... I&#039;ve ran alot of heavy equipment on farms and such and have only had one accident in a car in my life about 12 years ago... I like to think I&#039;m a safe driver... but then this happens... there was nobody injured and the car actually was still driveable... it bent the bumper on the front driver side and knocked the driver side mirror off and some scrapes... after meeting with police they drove the car away.... I&#039;m curious as to what happens when I go in front of safety... and I wonder if my job is on the line?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
