I graduated from Truck Driving Scbool in March and went to work on the Dollar General Account with Werner Enterprises. I has a couple of minor accidents involving backing in the Dollar General locations, Hit a yellow post with the front fender and damaged a trailer by hitting a guide wire. I am on propation with Werner and I am sure one more incident and i'm a goner. I got off the DG account and I am now a shag driver. Moving trailers around as much as I do, I am afraid anything can happen. If I get fired by Werner, will I have a difficult time getting someone to hire me? I don't think any of these count againse my CSA score because it all happened on private property. Would I be better off moving on to a new company before something else happens with Werner and try to get a fresh start? If a minor incedent were to happen would i be better off resigning before they fire me? I don't think I am really a bad driver. The DG account is too much for rookies. Some guidance would be appreciated 't

Those mishaps can and will happen no matter who you work for if your not paying attention.... now I'm not saying your not... I suggest you stay with Werner for a full year and use the Smith system even more then you have in the past... take it slow and remember don't hit anything... most mistakes are made when someone is rushed just slow down and take your time...
