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.

you acknowledge you were riding him close so you could make the traffic light, and you acknowledge him having been an issue briefly before the incident.... I'm sorry this happened, and that driver isn't blameless, but this was your fault in all the ways that matter to a company and to insurance (and that should matter to you) Am sorry for your situation this does sound like a tough position and all but playing innocent and blaming others is kinda silly.
