I don't know what to do!

Jenn your entering a new field and I understand your hit hard times financially but you need to prove your responsible and you should of had some savings before going unemployed and now living in your car starving? You knew there would be testing fee's etc, didn't you have a plan for this before?

What was your plan to even feed yourself for the few weeks your in school?

You need to understand your going to be asked to plan your days meticulously and days in advance sometimes so you need to get it together.

Go to the food bank get a good meal because you don't want to be tested driving a truck starving.

Too many red flags.

Dash cam Videos! (Viewer discression is advised)

Try looking into After effects or FFmpg for some video editing.

If your skilled enough the new Javafx platform has all the features any professional editing software has but you need to be able to code in order to use the various functions.

Nice start now beatify it.

Looking for advice and/or opinions. Be nice

Sounds more like you have your own bias, I don't know many men who feel or act that way at all.

"test twice before being allowed to do a job that men are allowed to do without testing." Seriously in this day if your good your good if you suck they test you over an over because it's not so easy to can someone.

Why would they spend money testing more than needed and NOT test a man this isn't 1960 maybe the problem was you?

And maybe just maybe this case worked said that because you come across as someone who blames men for your troubles and Trucking is generally considered a mans world although that's changing fast.

I have a hard time believing just because your a woman they make you test twice. I really do.

Got two tickets

States with no insurance also require you to have Proof of Financial Responsibility up to 25k set aside or pay some states a min each year. Did you do this or have you got this set aside?

There is no free ride sir, you can have cash or bond set aside in place of insurance but there is no place that says go drive the car have no financial ability to cover the accident and get off the hook while everyone else pays over there $ to the insurance companies. Well not in N/A. States with no insurance do require the driver to be able to be financially responsible so can you prove you have the funds set aside as insurance?

I think you need to review the laws in your state because if there was a place I could move to pay no insurance and drive around the country I would certainly change my address as would every other hard working fool out here.

New Tesla electric truck

Average car weight now: 4,079 Average Tesla car weight: 4,608

The weight isn't that much more for cars right now so I doubt it would be a massive reduction in weight you can haul.

24000 taxi's coming out that will be fully automated running a fleet in cities so to say the tech is way down the line is just kidding yourself and it's just a matter of time. It's being worked on all the time and getting way better.

Powering stations are growing a lot and I see them more and more even in some remote ass CA location. There on there way it's just a reality. And there easier to install that a new gas station so it won't take long.

I think we just need to get used to the idea that it's coming.

Help on what to do

Robert R. I wouldn't play the race card. I wouldn't get upset when my mommy wont tell me what he said. Maybe it was along the lines of lady cut the lad lose already let him grow a pair already.

I wouldn't have *****ed like a little baby about a co driver. And I certainly would have checked my truck before I slept in it.

I also would have read my contract and not be looking at making a list of excuses because I failed and need a way out.

Get over it get back to work get a new truck start running miles.

How you played your cards and laid out your complaints sounds like your looking for a way to get out of it.

Played the Racist card. Blamed the other driver for Personal attacks. Blamed the new guy in the truck. Then bugs.

Sounds like you complained a lot and to say "I have the patience of a saint" seem to contradict your post.
