Can I remove the manual transmission restriction on my CDL
I did this after passing in an auto with Prime. I had to redo pretrip and road test. No shifts in intersections and double clutch required. I am glad I did!!!

They are big and have a lot of resources to help prospective drivers. Don’t read reviews any company that large has bad things said about them mine included. Example driving Wyoming in the middle of the night on treacherous roads in first winter storm of season. I warned drivers behind me on radio of a career ending spot to back er down to 10 or less. They all thanked me big time for the warning. Next thing I hear after they catch me behind the plow is Prime is gonna mess it up for the rest of us. Hey you’re welcome for the warning none of these so great no name companies gave you. Sorry driver was all I heard. Big companies have resources and their drivers stick together not like lone wolf renegades. Ask G-Town he rocks it. We all start somewhere.

Finding a new job with a preventable accidents on my record
My brake question still remains unaccounted for and steering is iffy. I don’t understand and until he does It sounds like a mysterious thing no company can move forward from. I do wish you well William D all I ask is to keep in mind we are accountable for safety and if something unsafe happens we are held accountable and it helps if we understand what we could have done differently.

How did a serpentine belt cause you to hit the guard rail? It is not connected to steering or braking. Maybe I don’t understand all thing involved but sounds odd. You used the word forced.

Tips, Tricks, And Techniques For Rookie Drivers
Listen to your gut not GPS!!!!! I got into some crazy situations from my early rookie days and I have 3 GPS going. Took a little time to learn the country and now I have a good idea where I’m going without them but had I listen to my gut in the beginning I wouldn’t need as much experience. At least 3 times a day I look at them and say you’re all crazy I’m not doing that. If it doesn’t feel right don’t do it!!!!

The Best Route
Doesn’t sound very heavy so Wyoming isn’t a good option but Montana has more ups and downs. 80 to 84 then up or 80 to 90? Sketchy either way.
