Profile For John G.

Is my career over? I am still in my first year of obtaining my CDL. However, I drove for a decorative rock supply company for a year. Drove a little pup dump truck for the 1st 5 months and the got my cdl so I could drive the bigger dump trucks and make more money. However, the urge to make even more money made me look other places after working for a year at this place. So, I took a job with a cement company driving a double tanker pneumatic automatic truck. Everything was going great and then one Nite after off-loading my powder, I was driving through the yard to the gas pumps and my back trailer ran over a brick like paver and snaped the weld of my product valve and when it fell, it took out an air hose as well. Damages where probably around 1500.00 for the re-weld and air hose repair. I offered to pay for it out of my own pocket, but they said no and punted me. So, a few weeks later I got hired by a materials company driving a double belly dump truck. I loved it. However, on my second day of my second week, I noticed my truck was making a noise that I wasn't familiar with. All my gauges where fine, and I was not leaking oil, and all belts were tight. I called both of my supervisors, but nobody answered their phones. So, I left text messages stating that my truck was making a funny noise and I feel like it going to break down please call me back. I got no response, so I proceeded to get my second load of the day and when I got to my destination, it broke down. They fired me. Now, I have 2 horrible mishaps and my resume looks horrendous. I have applied to over 30 places and when they see my work history, they run. I made the mistake of driving, and I should stayed put. But this was a timed job, meaning you have to document every time you get to a site and when you leave the site. I was told to not milk the clock and get in as many runs as you can, or you will get bumped. I am so depressed, and I am not sure what I am supposed to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
