I drove for this truck driving company for 15 yrs. No speeding tickets, a few miner accidents, overall a good company driver, did my job without whinning about loads all of the time from dispatch. Ran mostly east coast to midwest, pulling 53 ft dry van, keeping mostly a low profile and doing my job. One Friday night I got into a fight with the ex, and decided to go up to the truckstop where my rig was parked for the weeekend. Went to the bar across the road from the truckstop and drank more than I intended to, I rarely drink , but when I do I usually go to the trk and go to bed , but as stupidity and alcohol affected my judgement, I decided at 230am in the morn the trk was not parked safely, sticking out a bit to far at the entrance, so I decided to move to the lower trk stop , about
200 yards down the road to find a safer place to park, as luck would have it I hit black ice going down the hill to the lower trk stop, trk slid into the right ditch , crushing the guardrail, and doing considerable damage to the right side of trk , loaded with 45,ooo lbs of salt leaning over a steep hillside, needless to say the law came blew a .15 and went to jail for the night, this was in dec 07, lost my wife, job, house, all in one weekend. License was susspended for one year, I know this is a prob a stupid Question , but is there any truck companies out there who would give a guy a second Chance?
