I'm going to take y'alls advice. I'll learn from it either way. I honestly try to be a good driver and for the most part I am. I do recognize my mistakes and I own them. I'm truly regretful that I wasn't going slower to avoid the situation. I'll let you know how it plays out. I appreciate the advice on the matter...i really do. I just hate that I've started off so poorly.

Thing is though, like I said. They will consider it running a light. That's a safety violation to them no matter what so I'm pretty sure they'll fire me. Was just wanting to do what was best for my record because I'd like to keep driving. I've learned from my mistake but it still may cost me my career and I don't agree that it's worthy of that. We will see.

They'll have their minds made up when they call. That's just how they are. It won't matter what I say but I wont be an ******* regardless. I don't think you understand. I'm not saying it couldn't be avoided, just that I don't think it's worthy of termination and ruining me. I learn from every mistake I make. I'm a he'll of a lot better than when I first started for that reason. Haven't had a camera incident in over 3 months. I guess I'll just let um do what they'll do. I did call safety and he switched me over to another guy that didn't answer. I'm guessing because it was Friday afternoon. Anyways, I let you know if I get fired.

Haven't left anything out. I wasn't speeding. I just know they'll say I should have been going slower for the road conditions and they'll probably say I should of been slowing anticipating the light to change. I've heard many times that there's no way out with them. By law I really didn't do anything wrong and I know that but yea if I were a perfect driver I could have avoided the situation...maybe. A little slower and anticipating it might turn would have helped. I'm just not a perfect driver though. The truck just skidded...i let off a little untill it stopped skidding then re applied the brakes just to skid some more. I know I didn't do anything wrong but maybe could have avoided it. I just want to know if it's better to quit without a notice or get fired for safety reasons.

So I work for one of the mega carriers and I actually started my Trucking career with them. I have been working for them for 16 months . I'm currently on probation because the camera caught me holding my cell phone. I recently had a hard stop at a red light and crossed the white line. I started applying the brake as soon as the yellow light appeared but skidded because the road was wet. I ended up about 5 feet beyond the white line when I came to a stop. Of course the camera activated and being on probation already I'm pretty certain they will fire me because they will consider it running a light. My real question is should I go ahead and quit so they won't have me as being terminated for safety reasons or just let them fire me? I don't have time to put and I notice that I'm quitting because they will get the video and the next couple of days probably. If I do quit I do plan on taking the truck to a terminal. I know they could put on my DAC report that I was insubordinate but I figure that may be better than getting terminated for safety reasons.
