I was recently terminated from Ryder for a safety issue. After being loaded I pulled out from loading dock without kingpin being secure & trailer detached but I caught it immediately & reattached it. Moving forward does this mean I shouldn’t be rehired ?

that being said, if you "man up" to what happened at the next job interview, and say you "learned a lesson", then you should have no issues...
but DO NOT volunteer why you were fired, let the new employer ask, what happened.!!!Bean Jr., Lonesome, Albertaflatbed and 2 others Thank this. -
Check your hire right report, the part where it says reason for leaving. If it says quit/resigned that is what I would tell a future employer.

If they fired you for that they were looking to fire you anyway. Pulling part way out from under your trailer is serious but if a guy is an otherwise good employee I wouldn't fire him for it. People make mistakes. They learn from them too.
Did you have previous issues with the office...accidents, tardiness, load damage, personality conflicts with other employees? Argue with the dispatcher one too many times? Irritate the guys in the shop once too often?
Whatever the reasons, you're gone. Time to find a new job.Bean Jr., Lonesome, Albertaflatbed and 3 others Thank this. -
How did they know you weren't hooked if you didn't drop the trailer? The way it sounds, you started to pull away and realized you weren't hooked, so you stopped, backed up and hooked it. Not saying you shouldn't have known before you even hooked up your airlines, but was someone standing there watching you?
