I wish you the best, and I really thank you for coming to us for some advice. I hope you can get behind the wheel again. Please, keep us posted on your progress. It will help us to know if we are giving out helpful and honest advice.

oof...Thank you so much for the hard truth...very much appreciated!!

How much damage was done to the truck or trailer? That should not prevent you from getting another job. Your best bet is to do a year of OTR. This would increase your chances of getting a local job.

...a little damage to landing gear supports and the brake fittings were pulled off. also brake/gladhand fittings were damaged on the tractor. well that was my question; do you think i will be banned from driving until my record clears? or forever? or maybe i can get a CDL class B job for now?

Greetings Trucker Pros... I am a 4-5 month CDL-A bulk tanker driver (OTR) and I had just transferred to a local flatbed position in the last week. On my second day out, during the flatbed training/orientation process I dropped a trailer and because of it I was fired (very short version).

What I am asking is, can I still be a local CDL-A driver with this accident or will I never be hired as a driver again? I am willing to start at the bottom again, with new training...very humble and teachable personality, and i would really like to be a driver in some capacity...preferrably Houston local. Is there any recourse for me?
