I drove for two weeks for a company and they claimed I braked too hard at some lights despite me needing to to be able stop behind the white lines. I was told by my trainer that I wasn't allowed in the intersection while it's red despite being legal. And this is because they have DriverI (AI cameras). If I wasn't told that by him the hard braking would have never happened. It is extremely hard to find a job now because of this. Even Swift said I need 6 months experience before they'd take me on. If I took a CDL-B job would that count toward the experience Swift is looking for? Also would it be illegal (per DOT regs) to lie and say I wasn't terminated? Because I'm pretty sure it isn't on any reports. It certainly isn't on my DAC. I feel like this is the only way I'll be able to get a job.
