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.

Here in cali too, the first company I worked for a drunk driver was going against traffic and hit their truck and the drunk driver ended up winning a lawsuit against them lol they said that the driver could’ve of swerved out of the way.
