New Driver in a pickle, advice needed

okedoke doug -

I just sent you a list of about 93 companies within 30 miles of Dayton...

not all are hiring - but it is a start.

also - call me if you need help sorting out the worst from the bad from the not so bad.

 

lightbulb goes on........ hey screw driving a truck from what ive seen and heard on here the last month i'll just start me a truck driving job finder service

 

HHhmmm.................

 

Swift like all companies are trying to clean up the act. I know that since Jerry took back over the company in 1/07 he was making major changes, so it doesn't surprise me at all if you have a accident that they fired you. Not being mean, and these things do happen especially from a new driver. I was making a wide turn on a narrow street off hwy 49 I believe down in Mississippi (can't remember the city) but anyway put my trl in a ditch. Called dispatch and had to be pulled out with a tow. It cost the company over $1100 for the tow and fix the trl brake chamber that was torn off. This was during my 3 month solo.. They did not fire me or report anything on my DAC.. I don't know if I still have the pic but if I find them I will post LOL...

 

Here is the link to the photos I haven't been to photo bucke it almost two yrs and still they have my pics.

!!!ROFL!!!

 

When did this happen?

 

What company was the driver driving for?

 

The accident the op had was a preventable one in my oppinion they can put it on his dac because he was involved in a accident that was his fault and cost the company money.
