Parallels (Has Anyones Training Or Career Looked Like Someone Else's?)

I ask this question because I have a friend (Brett Mason), who is on another chat group, who is also a truck driver. It seems that my career and his "parallel" in more than a few ways.

He started out with SWIFT, and was fired after two accidents, and was with SWIFT for 28 days. I was with Decker 21 days and was fired after scuffing some tires. (I basically drove over a curb, I guess)

He then went to Central Refrigerated, and was sent back home after one hour. I was with Knight, and sent back home after five hours. He then went with CRST, and was with them for nine months. I am currently with Navajo, and am about to get my own truck next week, I HOPE. Brett then went with Knight, where he is currently.

Who knows, maybe I can get on with Central Refrigerated.

Has anyone had similar incidents (or coincidences) as compared to another truck driver or drivers?

The start of my career was pretty typical - nothing real interesting in that regard. But I've heard of a lot of people that had similar experiences to yours where they bounced around a bit in the beginning before settling in somewhere. It's not that uncommon.
