I was delivering a load on a mountain side in Washington. It had been raining for two straight weeks prior to my making my delivery. So I get to my delivery point. I set my brakes and exit my truck. The road gave way under my trailer and my trailer slid off into a ditch. I had to get a tow truck to get me out. It's a non DOT reportable offense. Yet this company is still using it against me using their own "point" system. Of it's a non DOT reportable offense then why are they still acting like it? Company name is Celadon. I have a lease already thru Quality and I have a 2016 Lonestar. Is there a company out there that does not nick pick over stupid **** that happened before I got my CDL A and non DOT reportable issues and is a vendor for quality? Also i have a disease Aropecia so I have no bodily hair. So I would need a company that only does a urinalisys... Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

If you pull dry box and live west of the Mississippi Interstate distributor has point and click pick your own freight. Never heard of a point system with o/o

Interstate:
