    I wasn't addressing you in particular, just those who would show up later and think it's ok make fun of people.

    We're better than that here.

    I don't know; he posts 3 preventables on his record. I think Western Express will give him another chance.

    Sometimes to keep things off your record you'll need to pay for it and not tell your company or anyone who drives for them.I got stuck before off an exit while stopped to look at my directions to the receiver.I couldn't remember if I needed to turn left or right.i got stuck on a patch of snow and didn't wanna keep trying to get out and end up in the ditch.I didn't know of any towing companies in that area so I called 911 and they called someone for me along with sending a cop to block the exit once wrecker arrived.while employed at Werner I got stuck in canada,i missed my turn and kept going till I found a place to turn around before ending on the B.C. mountains.they re beautiful but not so eautiful for newbies.I got stuck while turning into a livestock lot.the lot was huge but turning in not so much.a four wheeler called a wrecker.I paid for that and he helped me get back to where i was suppose to be.

    You learn things as you go.I learned never to park on a snowy shoulder and look at the driveway before assuming it's big enough to turn into because they have a huge lot.also before parking look at the ground to make sure it's not soft,,chances are you will get stuck.unfortunately op you may not have a choice but to settle for a less then desirable company. But that does not mean following their example and not practice safety.these bad companies have bad drivers ,please don't follow their lead.

    Those 2 incidents of getting stuck wouldn't be on his MVR. They'd just be on his DAC because some lame office jockey who's never driven a truck flamed him. So, OP, find a company who doesn't use DAC, be honest, and learn from any mistakes you may have made. Everyone can get a truck stuck. That's not crime or a job killer. Yeah, you want to try not to, but it happens. A good company would know, understand, and accept that. That third accident that you haven't given any specifics on is likely the only one causing you issues getting hired.
