    my accidents were not that serious I should of not reported them but I did. Only pulling out of dock and door opens because of wire came loose, blown tires from hitting curb. Nothing on the highway I am not that crazy. Like you guys never had that happen. Oh yeah I had was trained at CR England terrible phase 1 trainer he thought he was god. Then my phase 2 trainer told me that I was a good driver and let me go. Had hardly any experience in congested area like dock areas. Now I know what to look for.

    Does hiring you make PTL a bad trucking company?
