Is there anyone who'll hire me with three accidents on my record that are a year old?

    Haha...wow. This board does not control whether you continue to work at your company...your company determines that, and what your job is at said company.

    Not sure why you are on here trying so hard to convince people you don't know that you didn't damage anything.

    Usually people who get defensive about things they say they didn't do...actually did said things.

    Best thing for you to do, is suck it up, or find another job where you could be happy.

    But as you can clearly see, I know how to back up a trailer without hitting the adjacent ones. I've never even hit a trailer!

    You’re kidding right? There’s no footage of you actually moving a trailer. Just videotaping trailers before and after they’re moved. Then you play a video game.

    I’m sorry, I’m sure you’re a nice person, but I don’t think this industry is for you. No offense, but you wouldn’t last 10 minutes in any trucking environment I’ve ever been in. I’m not saying that like it’s a good thing by the way- it’s just how it is.

    Focus on your YouTube biz and forget this trucking stuff
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    I've said it once and I'll say it again. STOP saying trucking isn't for me. The footage clearly shows that I got the trailer IN the space WITHOUT damaging it. I couldn't film myself backing up because that wouldn't be safe. (Holding up a cell phone while trying to back up). The fact remains however that I got the trailer in the parking space WITHOUT damaging anything. I KNOW HOW TO BACK UP A TRAILER. Sorry about the yelling, but I'm extremely frustrated!

    That's all fine and dandy, you got a trailer in a space with no damage. I might do that 999 times out of 1000. But that one time.....

    and it took you forever because you have to go thru a whole dog and pony show of taping everything around you.

    Jockeys get paid to move trailers- a LOT of trailers every shift! You’ll never be able to keep up with your mindset.

    Either way, I wish you the best. I hope it works out for you and starts to get a little easier.

    Well, I wouldn't have to do that if my coworkers weren't accusing me of hitting trailers, running stop signs and and speeding, but whatever, I guess...

    After watching that video, I felt like I was actually dropping the trailer myself. And that merge at 15:20 on American Truck Simulator was executed to perfection.
