What were you doing when you hit these things?

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

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.

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.
