His topic on "TERMINATION" covered everything a couple weeks ago. Same topic, different title. Hit and Run will get you fired as this driver discovered.

TT On Facebook
I am having a problem finding a company… I got terminated for safety violation for two incidents around the same time frame. One a backing incident at a truckstop and the other was a scrape of my bumper at a consignee. MVR is in good standing with no violations, The incidents doesnt show on my license.. Incidents only show up in the company system when i apply for other jobs. No CSA points deducted. Any companies you guys know that are 2nd chances? Really want to get back out there im 5 months in.
