Didn't know my CDL was suspended
Fell off a ladder at home and dislocated my femur bone on Jan 21, 2022. Been off work ever since. I have finally had time to transfer my Nevada CDL to Indy but cannot do so till next week when cleared to go back to work. I moved back from Nv. Over a year ago and never found the time to get to Indiana. Cdl. Now I find out Nv. Has canceled my Cdl clear back in August. wow I have been driving without CDL for 5 months not knowing it. I guess as long as it's not over a year; I am all right? Just take 50 question test? Will this have any other repercussions? Life long procrastinator.

I posted here about 5 weeks ago concerning being fired at Western Ex. 4th day on truck with trainer scrape front end of another rig @3mph and some how punturered radiator, towed, fired. Literally applied at boo coo companies denied if I ever get a response at all. My lis. we're clean until now. What has caught my eye is reading a couple other threads on this forum. Both incidents were with Western Ex. #1 The trainy jacked knifed and totaled the rig. He talked 2 safety and kept his job? #2 Something simlier, talk s to safety gets 2 keep his carrier. Myself I sit n rig from Sat.till Tue. at terminal Do not get 2 talk 2 safety just told 2 hit the road.??? I am starting to think?? I am easy going get along with every 1. Accident 100% my fault. I do not no if there is a ? There but some. Thing seems not right Thx for any response. John

Werner Hair Follicle Testing. What panel does it use?
Did you have a prescription?
Pack that part I never considered. If he/she has a script should be ok .May have to quit doing them or get permission from doc and that would be about as commen as a snow ball in hell. I dought he does. Good luck to him regardless. Better he starts to learn the draconing rules and laws of this profession. I for one f up on my 3rd day out with my trainer,after financing 6000$ and putting 2000$ $ down rearranged front end of a poor truckers truck short turning in pilot at 3 mph some how put hole in radiator. Truck towed best I can tell carrier over.

Werner Hair Follicle Testing. What panel does it use?
best
I took some klonopin about 3 was ago to help me fall asleep. I was wondering what drug panel does Werner use for the hair follicle. Do they test for benzos?
Best of my knowledge benzos/ Klonopin is just a nother form of anxiety pill. It is very simler to zanex. The std drug test is a 5 panel as in what drug it is looking for. 5 different types opiutes (vicDone,oxys herion et ) amphetamines, (benies speed) pot weed, hash. Anxiety drugs valium,zanex, KLONPON spelling sux but u get the clue. The last one I don't remember but I think Lsd shrooms etc. I would suggest miss your bus to orientation for at least 2 + months. Or find company's that only do what is required a DOT **** test. Under no circumstances do u go there and submit to there hair test Good luck brother

Fired for accidents, will I be able to get a new job?
Mom and Pop companies are also good advice. I was in a much worse situation, and I ended up, after about three months, working for a mom and pop.
Also, PRAY.
Dave
Have 0 idea as to who r mom and pop companies. My problem is I have 4 days of driving experience. Out with my trainer and I short turned around a parked 18er and clipped it puncturing radiator at maybe 4mph as I have posted on other areas of site. It was towed,fired. one billion percent my fault. Despretly need a chance. I have learned extensively from my mistake. What I here,, is apply apply apply. Doing so decline decline decline. If it's pointless I need to move on. ? Has any 1 ever heard of a 4 day rookie with 4 days driving get a 2nd chance ??? As I stated obove I keep hearing about mom and pops ??? Can any 1 give me a lead on some mom and pops ?? From what I can tell if I had 3 months exsperence ? Any way I am sure I got my answer with my previous subject post. I hope not but it is what it is. One at fault accident at 3 mph, radiator has hole in it fired, no one was ever in harm's way. Just short of 47 years of driving with out a single accident. ??

Sitting in passanger seat. Really not that much damage. Some how radiator got punctured ,towed. Carrying I think 76000 lbs a lot of enerta with that much weight.turned to soon was focusing on drop off ahead of me f Ed up.
How did u do that much demand at 3 mph? Where u actually backing or ran into a truck? Where was your trainer?

John, I agree with G-Town. It is really odd for a trainee to get fired for an accident. When I was at Western Express this kind of thing happened regularly. It almost always came down to how the driver conducted himself in his interactions with the trainer and the safety people as to whether they stayed employed. I knew of a trainee who ripped the top of his trainer's truck off by hitting a low bridge. He stayed employed because he owned that it was his fault, he had been cooperating with his trainer, and he clearly relayed to them what he had learned and how it would be avoided in the future.
You dropped us a clue in your other thread concerning this accident. You said this...
There is more 2 story concerning trainer but matters not now.It may matter more than you realize. Your trainer may have put some additional information in the mix for the safety department to consider. Your relationship with that trainer may be what caused the axe to drop. You are clearly going to have issues getting hired, but your only option is to try as many companies as you can. Hopefully someone will give you a shot.
. Here is the intire scoop old school and thank you for any suggestions you may have. #1 the accident is do to my not taking that last look out my mirror b4 turning. I messed up ,my fault,but with that said there are some things that I have not said do to the fact I am a person ,at least I hope so takes responsibility for my actions. Here it is in full ,and once again if I had looked 1 more time this would not be a issue. We pull into truck stop and park facing trucks refueling. Trainer has been driving it's my turn to drive (DAY3 as trainie) We begin to exit ,,trucks now have pulled forward and went in plaza.This makes it extremely tight to exit. My trainer gets out and directs thru maze. As I am watching my trainer I loose track of my surroundings.finaly trainers get in let's go. I make turn to tight clip front end of another rig. Basically a fender bender.100 percent my fault. Some how radiator was punturered. Had to be towed. No ticket. Sit at terminal 3 days in sleeper. In this time I was told not to bother any 1 concerning this incendent. So I did not. This was told to me by my trainer on day 2 while awaiting my fate. In waiting I finally read the incident report. It said I was exiting the enterence. I was NOT!! issued a ticket. I had no idea that we were exiting out the enterence. ??? Day 3 in training?? My trainer had put me in a parked position we're I was going to exit out enterence. If you care to believe it I wanted to back up,but trainer insisted I follow the trainer directing me out forward. This is the 1 St time I have put this forth. I care not to screw my trainer or any 1. Do I have any option here. Also I never got to talk with safety Never got to exsplain what happened,just told to hit the road ?Thx in advance John.

Thank u G town .as I think I said. In June it will be 47 years with out ANY accidents. Holly cow what a time to have one. And speaking of time I am running out of it. Will be 63 in June.
Totally agree with Pack Rat here. I’m 7 years with Swift. Unless you hang with a company beyond a year, you’ll never fully experience the benefits said company has to offer a top performer.
Be honest and have a well thought-out explanation as to how you learned from your mistake and how you can prevent it from happening again. Non-disclosure is not truthful or trustworthy.
Good luck!
