New Driver

…“O.K what have you done this time” you should pack it in.

Suspect they’ll make sure you give up, at least with their employment. Oddly agencies don’t seem as bothered which is probably not a good thing.

You will likely find they give new drivers the oldest trucks with plenty of dints. Just try not to add any more, at least ones that involve people, cars or things that need repairs (stone walls in middle of nowhere usually don’t).

Best ones are when they say “at least you didn’t do the same as the last driver”. Like I tapped a fence and last one put a whole in an office wall. Or I damaged a grass bank, but last one burst a gas main!

One thing - if it wont fit, tell the office that unless they want a big damage bill this one needs a smaller truck. If you can take pics that helps too. Usually works as they dont know what the drop is like.

Oh and don’t reverse without looking! You woupd be amazed how many idiots park right behind you even after 30 seconds.
