    talk about dumping a load, in Chicago, many times, see these container haulers, take the turn too fast, WHAMMM, container comes flying off chassis.
    forgot to lock the corner pins.

    Either way I was fired and am having trouble finding a company that will hire me with that safety incident reported on my record. They all say I need at least 6 months of clean driving without incidents.

    Yeah, the CDL employment is tight right now, but not impossible. We'll find a job for you.
