My psp is trashed! Can I get hired anywhere?

It bothers me when I read a news article about someone killed in an accident with a semi truck, when they are at fault.

The reaction is always’thoughts and prayers’ for the deceased.

Knowing 2 drivers personally that have been through it, nobody gives a thought to how it affects the driver that was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Let alone how it affects their ability to put bread on their table.

 

Heh i know a local where i live who had a drunk dukes of hazard his car into the front of his rig. He showed me the dash cam once and the trucker was entirely not at fault. Teen driving the car was estimated to be 3 times the legal limit and didnt turn on a street and ended up jumping his car into the median doing over 40.

People locally still call him a murderer and use him as an example of why trucks need more regulation since if the trucker had been paying attention he would have never murdered that "poor boy" after the teens mom lambasted him to anyone who would listen. So he is basically unhireable locally and his own rig was down for almost 4 months being repaired besides leading to a lot of financial hardship.

Fact of the matter is between the actual pigs on the road and the grinning billboard human trash like the hammer pushing for nuclear judgements. We are seen as less then human by many "normal" people any.ore

 

I knew a driver who had a guy use him for suicide. Two lane road and the coward crossed the line and hit the big truck head on. Suicide note at home. They STILL tried to sue the truck driver.
If you drive a truck, understand that you are public enemy number one. No matter how safe you drive, in an accident expect to be sued.

 

Rule #1.
It's always the truckers fault.

We can thanks csa for that. Unless they got rid of that BS.

Anyone remember the jb hunt driver that was blamed for a bridge collapse? The bridge was under construction and he just happened to be in the area at the time it collapsed. Just minding his own business.

 

It’s too late to pray for the dead. I always thought it was just empty words anyway. People say it and then never give it another thought. Plus most people don’t believe in God so their prayers are useless.

 

Knew a guy that hit a newlywed couple head on that swerved across the yellow lane on a windy mountain curve. He didn’t make it back into a truck for nearly six months. Still isn’t the same.

 

always had a fear I would hit somebody and it was their fault. Thank God it’s never happened yet.

 

People that haul a lot of big oversize stuff will know this for sure. Your Pilot Car sees all kinds of crap all day long that you miss. Man that car almost hit you. That idiot came off that ramp almost ran into your load. I like the cars on the on-ramp that are at least a football field in front of you but slam on their brakes and stop when you're about 18 feet wide. Oh yes, I pray every day for protection and safety for me and everyone around me. And most days wonder why do we do this? Be safe out there drivers and stay alert.

 

I truly wouldn’t worry about it if they aren’t your fault. What’s on your insurance record is what’ll matter. The psp accident records will show for 5 years.
Mine was trashed at one point but it really made no difference at all.

Just explain the events and let it roll.

Good luck!
