    Had an awful experience with a large company while training. Went through
    4 mentors (no fault of mine I was told). Put our on my own. Had one preventable accident and got discharged. All I want to do is drive. I loved being over the road. Is there any help fo me? No big companies will give me a second chance. Looking for someone to team with. I'll help you make money and all I ask for is better training.

    The company told me I hit an awning. They have cameras whic showed I made a wide right turn thus proving to me I couldn't have hit an awning on the right. I didn't go over a curb or anyghing like that. No further information. I didn't hit anything although I did have a very minor accident previously where I slightly scraped the side of a trailer making a right turn. I had learned to watch my mirrors mor closely because of that.

    They said I had the accident in Redwood city CA. Nothing show on my DAC or MVR reports. I at a loss as to what to do. The retention dept. asked me how badly I wanted to drive. They were the ones who told me about the DAC report.

    Thanks but even Western express has already said no. They got some sort of information from Swift. My only option seems to be ro beg for a job back from Swift.
