    Well. I know an accident is an accident. Regardless of how much damage is done. But I like to give all the deatails. Someone may think. Aww hell. He knocked of somebody mirror or put a hole in someone. I always back slow. That's the only way I know how to back is slow. Just when I get to the off set position. Everything goes to hay wire. I can 90 better than I can off set. Is that weird?
     
    Omega1, Lepton1 and Chinatown Thank this.

    Whoever you find tell them you can drive but you need some more experience backing.
    Tell them the truth sounds like you got rushed through training which isn't unusual with some of these carriers that will throw anybody out on the road, they figure if you can keep the truck on the road and between the two lines you are trained and ready to go.

    That's all history; lots of drivers have done much worse and still found a decent job.
    Get hot on the applications and you'll be on the road in a few days.
    Don't list them as accidents; they are incidents.
    Accidents are on your DMV and incidents aren't.
    List them as incidents!

    Thanks. I really prefer OTR. Northeast Western runs don't really matter. I like trucking.

    You got a year so you will find something and someone will hire you. Unless you keep hitting ####...

    You'll do California every week with Carolina Cargo and maybe with Roadtex.
    You won't do West Coast with Big M Transportation; I don't think so anyway.
