Profile For Robert C.

Hey my names Robert I’m a new trucker just graduated school and got my license July.24,2024 and got hired August.15,2024 with a family owned local company in Los Angeles,C.A. Everything was going great learning a lot and gaining experience I’m a little over 2 months in now and sadly was involved in an accident Oct.25,2024. The accident was minor no one was injured both cars were still drivable and it was not a rear end I was merging to the right in traffic on the freeway going between 5-10mph and there was a car in my blind spot front right passengers side merging to the left also going very slow aswell.I did not see it in time and I hold myself accountable because I am a truck driver and were held to higher standards. I swiped her rear door and quarter panel and nothing happened to truck asides from front right bumper pushed in a little and pieces of her car on lug nuts. We pulled over I asked if she was okay she was fine just shook up from incident. we exchanged information I called my boss immideatly and we waited to CHP to arrive to take statement then we went on our way. CHP told me not to worry about it and my boss told me not to stress or worry about it **** happens your a new driver and this is a learning experience. But I am worried as it goes on my record and I wanted to get another Opinion from someone experienced aswell.. Thank you
