Fired from Swift No one will hire me

Most drivers could have fixed it enough to not show. I won't push the issue though. I just know how to avoid being fired for something that simple. The headlight lens is a simple fix also; can make the scrape disappear.

 

Outside of the headlight, it is an $800 repair. I don’t get how this is considered anything but an incident. The headlight can be polished out but the fiberglass frame under it needs to be either cleaned up and epoxied or repaired using fiberglass repair techniques.

this is what I consider an incident.

by the way op, don’t ever ask another driver to move his truck so you can get into the slot, either wait or learn how to get into it without having to ask.

 

Every truck where I work has "mystery" damage that looks like that. The kind that just appears out of the blue and nobody knows when or how it happened.

 

Yep and as soon as you make contact with the wall, jump out and take multiple pics to tell the story of how tight it was getting out. Pics of the limited space to get out. Last year I had a 14 foot trailer and the customer had me back into a low clearance dock which ripped a huge hole in the trailer roof. I took multiple pics and also showed that they had no signs indicating that the dock could not take 14 foot trailers.

My company put me on a one year probation, but let me keep my job. I am very thankful for that but bummed that I have to start over at zero miles on my next 1 Million Safe Miles sticker lol

 

You just file out the crack, sand it and pack it with bondo and sand it back down smooth then prime and paint it. How do you think all those guys get 1 million safe mile stickers on their trucks? LOL

 

How did those companies know you were job hunting?

 

Sorry Ridge, but this is horrible advice. At the facility I work at we have to ask drivers to disconnect all the time to move around. Before we were having guys disconnect we had guys with 30 years experience and millions of same miles not be able to get out of their dock.

The entry way to the dock, if someone is in the first 5 doors no one can get in. They have to move. There is no other way, because of the angle of the entrance it's impossible. Their tractor sticks out and blocks the entrance.
