Hello y’all,
so I’m in my 3rd month of otr. And amongst my current trials and tribulations I have acquired 4 incidents in my record.
1. I was coming around a bend during training with my trainer and from my right side was side swiped by another semi and hit my right side view mirror. We pulled over and he blamed me. Once I showed that I had a dash cam he cursed me out and drove off. Police arrive and deemed him at fault to my company and on report.
2. My qalcom since I started driving had been glitching with reports and more frequently the gps. One night it cut out before a turn and I had made an off ramp exit at a fairly high speed and was unable to fully stop before the stop sign and committed a rolling stop. Thank god no one was injured no property damaged or incident however my company picked up on the break slamming and reviewers the incident and requires me to come in for additional training.
3. I was entering California dead heading and missed my weight station due to the qalcom glitching from the drive wizze and got a ticket from an officer.
4. And last and worse of all. I was entering a shipper location during a dark and raining night and scratched the yellow barrier pole with my trailer. Just scratches on both no structural damage.
Question is I go in next week sometime for that meeting, so y’all think I’ll get fired?

What do you mean about the qualcomm glitching out and how did that cause you to take an off ramp too fast or to miss your weigh stations?

He missed the part of the slide show on entering weigh stations & avoiding pipe bollards...probably because he got up to go to the bathroom.
