Look at your mirror and slow down thats all

Simo, remember to look in your mirror. Yes, you drive forward, but on local streets you are really driving your tandems, 60 feet behind you.

In fact, on corners and other sharp turns, you need to look in your mirrors more than you look ahead!

Practice this: at home, get the broom or a kitchen mop. Hold the top end of the handle next to your waist, let the broom/ mop end drag behind.

Now, walk around the house, but don't hit or scrape anything with the broom or its handle!

Yes, you will be thinking about what's behind you more than what's on front. Pay attention to where you walk - big wide turns around the table, careful not to walk into the wall when you turn down the hallway.

Walk like that as much as you can before Monday. It will put you on the best frame of mind for driving a truck.

Best of luck, Simo.

I would make a list 9f the things I need to learn and work on them wo th the new trainer. If you are trying to avoid cars.... are you driving too fast? Too closely? Are you not looking in your mirrors to predict upcoming hazards?

Simo, keep your head up, once you get another job, don't get out of your trainers truck until you have had all your questions answer and you feel absolutely positive your able to drive without fear, or questions on what to do in most scenarios I would asked my trainer what do I do in case of...... not that I'm a perfect driver God knows I've made my share of mistakes but for the most part I'm always focus and alert of who or what is around me, good luck, ..... out

Avoiding cars is not a valid reason to hit another object in most circumstances. Especially since trees and traffic light poles are not in the roadway, which means your truck left the road.

Two preventable accidents in the same day is going to look pretty bad to most companies, rookie or not. Since you didn't receive a ticket for either accident you probably have a better chance. Still, in this case I think you'd be best off trying to remain at your current company. You said they pulled you from the truck and you're waiting on an answer on whether you're still employed or not.

My advice is to humble yourself. Admit your mistakes, don't make excuses, and beg for a second chance. Offer to go back out for training. Do whatever it takes to remain employed there. Short of that, apply anywhere and everywhere you can.

No damage to the tree Trailer get damage little bit in top. The traffic light got damage it need to be replace. I was avoiding cars!!

double-quotes-end.png

Yes, Simo, avoiding cars is important. But you also need to avoid everything else.

Since you're new solo, even with the damage you have, your company might keep you, after a very serious talk. Maybe some extra practice with another instructor.

Let us know what happens.

What were you doing when you hit these things?

Was there any damage to either your truck or the light and tree?
