Profile For Dusty R.

1. We didn't change shifts. We were not team driving. He chose to continue driving after I hit the rack. I woke him up when I started driving but he was still half asleep when I pulled out of the truck stop.

2. Both GPSs (Truck mounted, and my phone (google maps/trucker's path) told me to turn right...I turned right...both GPS were wrong. (they hadn't aligned to the direction I was facing.) The GPS plan was for me to turn tight go down the road 2 miles and make a U-Turn, when I could take a left from truck stop. I knew I was on the correct road, so I wasn't lost.

3. I accept that I screwed up.

4. The issue with Corsicana...the road used to be a truck route and the only sign that says it isn't is at the right turn you have to make. Both I and the trainer did the route planning. This was the route HE planned.

5. I understand that I should have reacted sooner on that last one.

TLDR; I have my CDL but didn't finish OJT and haven't been in a truck for a year...do I have any hope of getting hired...and who should I try?

Last year I went with TMC to get my CDL. Made it through class, and got in with a trainer. Full disclosure...I was not very confident in my abilities, but I was safe. Had a couple of GPS issues. 1) Trainer drove after I hit the rack, so I had no idea where I was when I woke up and needed to start driving. I checked the truck's GPS and my GPS. We were on the correct road. Both GPS said to turn right, but I had to turn left instead. Training Manager chewed me out and said last chance. (Now I'm paranoid I'm getting released). Next event...The trainer helped me trip plan, he was unfamiliar with this route. I get into Corsicana, TX and the route we planned is now a restricted route...I didn't know what to do and since I saw a truck traveling on the opposite way, I continued, looking for a place to pull over. Wrong choice...got released.

Spent the next year looking for work other than driving, but I can't get a job that pays enough to pay all the bills. Any advice on who to try and get on with?
