    I meant safe driving in a semi truck doesn’t have to be otr and I have my reasons for not wanting to call the police unless it’s dire I can handle them I been stopped before but they aren’t the first group of people I would think to call.
    I appreciate the advice but I’m still gonna do this

    What would you do differently now to not have the previous accidents? For example, do you have a source of truck-approved roads? Can you looukup the truck restricted routes in your atlas? Do you know how to get truck approved routing from Trucker Path or how to use a truck GPS? Are you ready to park and inform the boss or customer conditions require you be late? I've made more mistakes than lots of people. EVERYONE says they learn from their mistakes. What was your pre-trucking driving history like? Plenty here will help you, but you have to help yourself also.

    The same extreme fear you have of police officers , needs to be extended to having accidents in vehicles you are driving .

    if
    You’re in Atlanta , and a company doesn’t answer the phone , just drive to their office or terminal .

    I love how you said rollover so casually, lol. But yea, no man. Find something else to do. Otherwise, it'll be an overpass rather than tree next time. Trucking sucks anyway
