Getting Hire With Preventable Accidents

All the tires were not deflated it was just the one. I don’t have anything to lie about so if you cannot provide a respectful opinion then thank you. The pillar did not fall over or anything as the fuel station was able to put it back in place with no problem. There were no tickets, not DOT officers involved and again no damage as I provided pictures to the company.

One tire blowing out and deflating caused enough lean of the trailer to push over a stanchion at the fuel island? Do I read your story correctly? Maybe if all the tires were deflated on one side and the stanchion were 14 feet tall, pushed over at the top by the trailer? That one would be more believable. I'm not buying your story.

That's why you're you aren't getting hired.

Getting Hire With Preventable Accidents

I have a question? I am a fairly new trucker. I have been driving for about 10 months. I had an incident back in September with Heartland, where I was at a fuel station and my tire blew as I was leaving the fuel station, which caused my trailer to hit the pilar softly. I was able to pull out of the fuel station safely to an emergency zone, so that I can check on any damages. There no damages to the tractor and trailer, no one was injured, no other drivers involved. The only thing was the pilar got knocked out of place, but the fuel station was able to put it back in place with no problem. I did my proper pretrip and the tires were brand new on that particular trailer, I was not speeding thru the fuel station by any means. The fuel station that I was instructed to go have bad pavement issues, but again I made sure not to speed thru. After I reported that incident, I got terminated. They put on my reported that I hit a fixed object and now it has been hard to find a job because alot of people deem it as a safety problem. I have tried to explain to people that I did not just drive up and hit the pillar, but it was a chain reaction to my tire blowing out. At this point, what should I do because I haven’t been driving long and I have tried to dispute this multiple times and it has not worked. I don’t think I should have to suffer on account of something I feel was out of my control as I properly checked tires and there was no damage to anything.
