Fired For Accident

The OP mentions in almost every post about how he was accident free for 40 plus years. That doesn’t matter or mean anything. Driving an truck is a whole different animal. Before I got my cdl I was driving 100k a year in my 4 wheeler. It did very little to prepare me to the rigors of driving a truck.

Another point I’d like to make for students that might be training. Remember you’re in charge when driving. If you think it’s unsafe don’t do it, regardless of what the trainer may say. If an accident happens the trainer will probably change his story. They can possibly lose their job as well when there’s an accident. In my training class one of my classmates put the flatbed on its side, him and the trainer were fired.

? I am the FIRED topic guy. Best I can tell ?? ( Any positive info would be fabulous for my deflated tude.) I am flat out Fuuked. Please let me whine for just a sec. One accident ,my fault in 47 years of driving and I am unhirable. The first accident I was Ever involved in. Seams kind of draconian to me. 8 ooo$ dollars 2000 $ out of my pocket 6000 $ financed, unemployed and best I can tell uninployable. Wow,it is what it is though. I still have a few thousand dollars left.My question Would be,, if I took a refresher course at my trucking school would that help me get pass this 1 my fault accident I have 0 intentention of ****ing more of my money (Day 3 of training) away in this 1 mistake,at 3 mph with absolutely no 1 was in harm's way and my short lived carrier is over. If u cannot tell I have a little biterness in my atatude. Maybe I am wrong and my driving carrier is not over ????????? Any suggestions or posiabilities would be highly appreciated. Let God be with us all.

CDL training is my guess on the money reference.

I believe having a positive relationship with a trainer is very important, and can make or break a trainee's chances of succeeding. I thank my lucky stars that I had an excellent trainer. They can only do so much while the trainee is in the Captain's seat, though.

John, listen to G-town, Old School and the other Vets, and start contacting everyone and anyone and see if someone will give you a chance.
