TRUE... ABSOLUTELY
My 1st load went perfect... I am now a trucker. Company driver.
And then the 2nd one... $&@"?!$&@?!
1am, pitch black, driving country roads, and then that left hand turn thru a train trestle... the concrete abutment... I turned too sharp, didn't use my mirror... STUPID... damaged trailer.
Result- called dispatch... had taken pictures... talked to dispatch, road assist, safety... I told everyone- I will do anything to keep my job.
Police were not involved... thankfully... I was sent to get mt trailer... load was transferred to mt. How many thousand dollars did that cost my employer?
I am STILL employed at Prime. Just got a 920 mile load to Atlanta.
THANKS to everyone for the advice!!!!!
; Gald it worked out. I'd kill for Atlanta right now lol
