Hello Truckers!
Recently I was hired by a company and they sent me to school. I passed school with flying colors! Class A Obtained with airbrake and combinations. Next I do 2 weeks with a trainer and drove 7000 miles roughly. So begins my company test. First the obstacle course. Passed. Backing passed. Then the road test with safety guy. To keep it short I stopped at a red light (turning left) Light turned green. I pulled forward across white line into intersection. Waited for traffic to turn as to not offtrack in other lane. Light turned red. Had right to clear so i proceed to turn. Completed turn. (No ticket or actual violation) The safety gentleman said id ran a red light. And so i was let go for that. I thought that a bit extreme but ok your house your rules. Keeping it short thats my brief history.
I really want to continue truck driving. Im single, no kids, no property, no police record, or dui. I dont drink or smoke.
I just want to otr solo.
Since I was terminated am i still under contract? Im not sire how that works. I dont mind paying for the school but i need a job. I called the company and they would not give me a straight answer on details. Any suggestions on my situation? Im a little lost.

Help clarify contract.
Yea sorry for not being more clear. I pulled up to the intersection to do a left turn. The light was red so I stopped. Then I got a green light so i moved forward into the intersection. I waited for cars to turn as they finished the light turned red. (Quick light) So i fimished my turn so i wasnt in the intersection.

Dont see a mention of cmv on that site which was where i was. But if what you said is true then I did make that mistake Robert.
Anyways I am not mad or anything and no i did not argue with the inspector lol. I did ask for a retest which was a no go for them and I respect that.
I just told you so you understood my predicament. Im concerned about the future not what happened there. I cant stand lying so i have to explain all this somehow and still get hired by someone else.
I did get a hold of them finally and they said i wasnt under contract so that should make it easier.
I guess all i can do is try. Appreciate the input.
