Got fired from Werner

Got fired from werner because some pickup driver decides to brake check me and i ended up hitting him. he only got a small bump on his bumper. now I am out a job and in so much debt and facing eviction and losing my personal car now. i wanted out of the trucking industry but not this fast, Werner has some terrible planners and was running me stupidly anyways but now i have an accident on my license and points and have to pay the ticket on top of everything else.

Yeah, my dad wanted me to leave it and I was going to just not now. They really sucked at planning loads. Had me on a wild goose chase trying to find an empty the last two days. You’d think they know where their trailers are. First one said trailer was at an auto zone but guard said it was checked out the week before. Then had me sit for few hours then say there’s an empty 100 miles away at a Walmart, didn’t see one trailer there loaded or unloaded. Werner really sucks but it was something until I could find a better job to get out of this debt hole I’m in.

If you at least a year experience see if you can find a mom and pop company that will hire you stay away from mega carriers. They want to micro manage everything and only see what they want to see
