Trying to game in my truck!!!

If it works plugged into power at a truck stop or terminal, but cuts out in your truck. You are either over powering the inverter, or it's a cheap inverter that does not provide the proper current or voltage regulation. Watching Netflix does not draw as much power as gaming, so that may be why that works.

I have 2 minor (personal) at fault accidents and 1 moving violation.

You hit a person from behind; But it's not really your fault.

You conspired to avoid reporting an accident; But it's not really your fault.

You are trying to hide this accident from your current and future employer/s; But it's not really your fault.

You really need to reassess your idea of what personal responsibility really is. Because you don't have a clue...

Can a hauler cause this damage?

Quite possibly happened in the loading/unloading process. When loading these carriers you usually drive the vehicle up the ramps (sometimes they are loaded by forklifts) if a wheel falls off or misses the ramp it can fall to the side and cause angled scrapes like that.

I have also seen low ground clearance vehicles scrape their lower body parts due to the high angle the front end gets up to when loading. This will cause scrapes that are not angled.

I'm sorry but it is difficult to describe clearly. But, yes, that damage could be caused by improper loading/unloading or in transit.

CDL school at Community College here I come

I cannot stress enough; you should definitely utilize the High Road CDL Training Program. It really prepares you for the CDL testing. Also, Texas, has an additional CDL manual chapter it throws at you. Search this site for "Texas" and you will find what you need.

Manual??

If you train and get your CDL on manual transmissions. Then, go to a company that uses automatics. They will train you to use the automatic effectively. If you then go to a company that uses manuals, and all your experience is on auto's, they will train you to use the manual. Yes, you are overthinking this. You will be provided the training you need to get the job done. If they don't want to provide this training, I would not work for them.

Schneider training is changing

It has already been said, but I want to elucidate on my first short post, concerning Schneider bringing training back in house. I have no personal knowledge of this it is my opinion. I have nothing bad to say about Trainco, just the many advantages training at Schneider using Schneider equipment, experienced personnel, on an actual Schneider truck. There is no way a 3rd. party can provide the same quality of training for Schneider, that Schneider can provide for itself. They are a large enough company to do this properly.

I worked for Schneider for a year, using their in house training, started getting paid after passing physical, drug test, and agility test (in the first week). They flew me up from FL to the Charlotte training center and in 3.5 weeks was driving solo. Was I ready for anything at that point. Heck no! Just don't hit anything and ask loads of questions.
