    I am curious how rolling the truck became someone else's mistake? Was it you in the driver's seat?

    You should have on top of that load with a shovel the second you saw it was lopsided. UHP around here with pull you over rain or shine and make you level it out. You roll a truck on a corner, unless the ground shifted or the winds blowing like heck, youre fault and no one elses.

    If I were you, I wouldn't wory to awful much. You are driving a dump truck, are you sure your boss goes through the expense of being subscribed to dac? Even so, you are 22. As long as you aren't running over people, drinking or drugging, racking up speeding tickets etc, I doubt that your "career" is over. Just keep on doing your best and learn from your mistakes. That is all a part of trucking. We all have made our mistakes comming up in one fassion or another. Be thankful that nobody was hurt.

    I worked with this guy at a lumber yard running flatbeds, He rolled 2 different trucks about 2 years apart. Now he's back working for the same lumber company as a owner operator. He does have a new nickname though "rollover Joe" :)
