    That’s my plan. One of my incidents falls will be 3 years old in January.

    Freightliners & Internationals. I got a Cascadia. Real good condition.

    That is a little surprising because I have personally met some Western Express drivers that were involved in major accidents.
    Anyway I'm happy for the good news. Learn from your mistakes and keep it safe.

    Being fired from the company for the accident is the reason they wouldn’t touch me. A lot of companies turned me down for the same reason. They’d been willing to work with the DOT accident had I not been fired.

    Thank you I will. I’m very happy to be driving again.

    Actually Western Express does hire drivers with less than perfect driving records and is a Second Chance trucking company. I work there now so I can confirm they hired me with 3 preventables in previous 12 mo and 2 accidents prior to those 3.

    The reason they gave me is being fried for the accident & being from Texas.

    How do you things at PTL? Freight at Western has been slowing down.

    Seems ok. Only been there about a month but they’ve kept me at about 2000 miles a week. Nothing great but I’ll take whatever I can get. Time employed at a trucking company accident free is my priority right now.
