6 months experience as a direct job placement for Dollar general
Well actually tried to get moved and they wouldnt. Also didnt mean to come off as placing blame. My intentions were more to explain what happened.
There's an easier way to avoid accidents: stop hitting stuff.
I disagree with PJ in the sense that I I think you should have stuck with CRE if they were going to stick with you after those two accidents. You simply had to ask to be taken off the DG account.
Leaving CRE isn't going to change bad decisions. In fact, leaving was the absolute worst thing to do, in my opinion.You should have went to them with hat in hand thanking them for giving you the opportunity to learn from your mistakes and become a better driver. If they were willing to stick with you, giving you a chance after those two accidents, why would you think bailing on them would be a good choice?
In your two examples above, you showed zero ownership or accountability for the accidents, even though both were clearly your fault. Not the driver directing you, not the DG, and certainly not the innocent fence. Only one person was behind the wheel in control. The sooner you accept and admit that fact, the easier it will be for you to move forward.
Never relinquish control of your vehicle to someone who is directing you. They aren't the ones taking the hit when you have an accident. Be absolutely aware of your own surroundings. GOAL as many times as necessary. And don't hit stuff.
You're going to have a hard time finding someone to hire you after those two accidents, especially if you keep blaming them on someone else. Own up to what you did, learn from it, and try to be a better driver because of it.
My best advice to you would be to ask CRE for your job back, and to ask to be taken off the DG account. Short of that, apply everywhere as PJ advised. Hopefully someone will give you a shot.
Your example is why we always try to dissuade rookies from doing any kind of dollar accounts. There are simply far too many ways to have career-ending accidents in those parking lots.
Good luck.

6 months experience as a direct job placement for Dollar general
I started my career with C.R. England and was given a direct job placement called DJP for a Dollar General refridgerated account. I have 2 minor accidents. 1. Another Djp directed me back into a vihicle resulting in minor damage,. 2. The dollar general I was pulling in to place cement post on the east and west end of the pull in entrances forcing me to go around the block resulting in a $0 dollar wall damage to a fence. I left C.R. England because even though these are recorded as minor I dont want any more accidents. There are nearly 40 stops for me to make in a week and I just dont want to risk any more incedents. Im great at backing up but Im having trouble finding work. What do I do?
