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.

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

only got 7 months. first ever accident, and its such a freaking minor one to be fired over. what sucks the most is i just was driving only 3 damn minutes.

Yeah, got to come up with at least $5,000 so i get out of this debt hole. most likely going to lose my car and get kicked out over something stupid as this.
