    I’m a fairly new driver. I been driving for 6 months now 2 of which were with a trainer. I got in an accident in my first job where I hit a tree while turning and they fired me. I went to my second job and got a rollover. Now I’m feeling like it’s over for me.

    i want people to be honest with me. Can I find another job with my record and experience or will I have to quit trucking all together and if u can what jobs can u apply too

    @Chinatown .
    Where do you live (roughly).
    In all honestly, it's gonna be tough with a roll over

    Ehhh....with 2 major accidents like that in your first 6 months....well @Chinatown may be able to help you but with a rollover id say your honest chances are slim.

    I would not bother to apply if I were you, use your time to find another career.

    I know a guy who works at mister p said his rolled over three times and still drives for mister p. I’m not so sure his rollovers were with mister p but maybe there is hope. Idk. Seems like more training for you and release your foot from the gas pedal. You’ve got to slow down there is no excuse for a roll over other than going way to fast.

    The roll over happened because the road I was on was restricted and the road was too small for trucks. I wasn’t turning or speeding. The rear trailer tire just went over the road

    Because of the road I was on? It was a lot to it like thick fog and a closed road where I had no other choice but turn on that road. But ok

    Well thanks for your honesty
    I don’t want to give up after giving so much of myself into this to be honesty but I appreciate it
