I have driven for 18 years with very minor incidents. Up until 2012 I had none on my record. Two Wednesdays ago I had a rear end accident. A car in front of the car I was behind, stopped suddenly as we were getting up to speed. We were all doing about 40 to 45 mph when the front car stopped and the car behind Him slammed on His brakes. I had about 20-25 feet in front of me ,but I was empty and had little fuel in the tanks so I skidded the remaining 10 feet into the car in front of me, just as the car in front of Him stepped on His pedal and high tailed it out of there. I had the police come and I was instantly the bad guy. He called the Highway Patrol whom explained to Him How hard it is to stop an empty truck. The Highway patrolman even said it looked like a classic scam move. The problem is I am now on suspension and more than likely will be terminated. Though this hasn't Hit my DAC yet, or MVR. It will. I have one other accident as a non preventable ,non DOT accident as I brushed up against an aluminum awning and got a 4 inch oxidized paint scrape on a white trailer from a previous employer. There was no damage to any equipment or property on that one. I am getting ready to look for another job, but what do I say? That's if they even look at me. a rear ender is a taboo subject to potential employers...........Does anybody have any advice? Do I need to look into another field? I'm desperate at the moment ,so any good advice
would be appreciated.
Have i just bought a ticket out of my career?
