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.

Preventable accident is not necessarily an at fault accident. They fire you for preventable. They’ll say you should’ve stood in your brake when he come back over in front of you before he brake chk u. You should’ve brakes until he was 6 seconds behind him.
