I completed trucking school here in my province, and got my 1A license (CDL) back at the end of October. Right out the gate, I was employed (I drive with my spouse) and sent to Minnesota. That went really well! So on the next run, we were driving through Nashville... long story short, a car cut me off right about a foot in front going 70mph on the interstate and in turn, I moved slightly over and another truck took out my driver side mirror with his trailer. ANYWAY, now I have major anxiety driving through large cities and I want so desperately to gain my confidence back and not freak out. My poor boyfriend always drives through them for me and I feel so guilty that now I'm even wondering if this was the right career path for me. Tips and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
