    Maybe try out a local construction outfit or a van driving job for awhile.. 5 preventables is going to be really hard to overcome... I wish you luck; tho....

    Why are you plowing into stuff so frequently? If your backing into some place and you get that "weird feeling" that something isn't right, then it probably isn't. Don't just ignore it, get out and take a look.

    Look in the mirror at the trailer when you are turning a corner.

    How is there a roundabout in a dirt parking lot? What were the rest of the incidents?

    The docks were angled so that when you pulled in you had to turn around via roundabout with a fire hydrant in the middle.

    Those were 5 learning opportunities! You’re actually lucky to have them.. That’s all you need to tell the new employer.

    DAC is clean.never happened. Just move on and be more diligent
    You may want to consider highway work, less obstacles than city delivery
    Good luck

    I talked with a Navajo driver in Montana.a few months ago. He said in his orientation there were 32 people and only 3 were left after 6 months. He said it absolutely sucked there...no miles and crappy trucks. Talked with another that came over from them to the company I was at and she said it absolutely sucked there too. On the other hand, it might be a company you can go to to get your record clean for a while and then gtfo.
