    That's where you can get back on track.

    Just saw a pallet truck leaving the truckstop. Three lights out on the trailer. Ridiculous.

    Change your screen name too. With everything being about how it looks these days, find a generic vanilla screen name. These companies look online just like everyone else.

    Everyone is focusing on the accident, it isn’t the accident that’s causing it, it is the working and quiting because he didn’t like the trainer.

    That is why.

    The op needs to get hired either locally (construction?) or take western express to get moving.

    otherwise practice “paper or plastic?”

    I'd wait until that accident falls off your MVR. If you get desperate and drive for dirtbags it'll hurt you in other ways. Best to start fresh as possible for long term success.

    You didn’t want western express because only flatbed… but you got maverick and gypsum on the list…?
    Gonna have to take what you can get, stay, don’t quit, be careful, get experienced and no incidents.
    Everyone has probably had a job that sucked at one time or another.

    Would you drive a truck you poured water in 2x/day?
    A 4070 cabover at that.
    Jumped outta gear, holes in floorboard you could see the road from the floor?

    Take the Western Express job until your MVR clears up.

    The OM loves Western Express.

    ******** Pro Tip for all new people -

    When you get on your trainer's truck, eat two cans of Stagg Dynamite Hot Chili, straight from the can, daily.
