Getting a job after accidents.

Zaroba, the next time you see a Class 8 you want to drive, stop. Just stop. Right there in your tracks. I don't care if you are a barefootin' it and the pavement temp is 125 degrees. Skip-jump your feet if you have to, back and forth like that, but stop. Just stop. The key thing is to take a deep breath, focus, take another deep breath, and focus some more. Think. I am serious now. Not trying to be mean. But the hard truth is all that works. After you have stopped, taken that deep breath, focused, and thought, you will conclude you and Class 8's......never the twain shall meet. Not now. Not tomorrow. Not next month. Not next year. You need to stick with Warehouse work and/or since you are special needs with that too, maybe a fast food job. The trucking thing is not a fit for you. We do not need yet another hazardous trucker on the road. We have plenty. And plenty more after that. And a few after that. Why, just yesterday, on my run, one idiot trucker died after being hit by another idiot trucker in broad daylight on a flat, four-lane, no-obstruction, no excuse stretch of asphalt concrete as flat and smooth as glass. No excuses whatsoever. None. The driver killed was a risk to himself and innocent, smart motorists, who got lucky. The driver who killed him is like you. Stop. Stop now! Before you kill somebody or yourself. Trucks are not your thing. And I am serious. And I am not trying to be mean. Your driving record and forum manner indicate you are not for trucks but a decent guy who can find decent employment that will keep you safe. That will not be in a truck.

 

I'm going to be that one guy.... Please stay out of a truck the company I work for can't afford drivers like you around us

 

@zaroba Also if everyone listened to the naysayers we would have zero trucks on the road.

Keep looking man you'll find something eventually. Even if it's a piss poor company with bad equipment, as long as it pays the bills and gets you some safe miles under you it would be beneficial.

 

There's some warehouse jobs you can work a few years and get promoted to a driver (food service, coke, etc)

 

TBH, I don't see how? He only had 1 accident where he was actually at fault, and that was probably just a mistake of being in experienced. Plus it wasn't even a 2 vehicle or major accident.

 

Yup. DOT reportables are visible on your PSP.
