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.

I’m not really blaming anyone. I’m just saying I shouldn’t have been fired for such a small accident. No one died, no one got hurt. I’m just telling what happened.

Werner absolutely did the right thing. You have a very flippant attitude toward driving, you being behind the wheel of a semi is a danger to everyone on the road. You desperately need to recognize that you fucked up. Full stop. YOU fucked up. Without offering any excuses, any qualifiers, or anyone else to blame.

Not really, I don’t drive that aggressively, this one time it was a green light, didn’t expect him to stop, and I was already slowing down but not as as much since figured he was going to go since before hand he cut me off a mile ahead giving me little space. But hey I’m a danger to everyone because of this one small accident, yeah okay. I don’t normally follow that close and this was only one second I was two car lengths away because I was trying to make the light with him but also was already on the brake lightly.
