The trailer decoupled after moving 10  feet. There was no damage to the truck or trailer. I called in and told dispatch there is something wrong with 5th wheel and I should have it looked at. They told me to reconnect and take the load. Safety 1st I took the the truck 20 miles to the OC and had Their mechanic look at it. He filed a 5th wheel incident report stating there was a mechanical issue with the locking jaws that could not be observed by the driver and had to order new part and replaced it. Nobody would answer my calls for 2 days after the issue was resolved. When they finally called me they said they were sending me home for a break. I had been out on the road for over a month. I rented a car and drove 1500 miles home instead of taking the bus that was offered..<\/p>\n<p>A week later they called me back with an attorney stating I was terminated. Meanwhile They  put a drivers error on my dac report. No other company will entertain hiring me. I filed a dispute with the evidence of their own mechanics findings and never gave anyone permission to access my dac report.<br \/>1. what are the chances I win the dispute and get it off my record?<br \/>2. How can I get hired by another company with this on my record?<br \/>3. I was 2 weeks from finishing 3 months. Im willing to do teams,  go through mentor, do a different company training classes driving training anything to get rehired. I really like driving and want to do this for a living. <br \/>Any serious wisdom, advise, or companies that will hire me so i can continue my journey would be appreciated\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\n\t\tn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\n\t\tdocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\tfbq('dataProcessingOptions', []);\n\tfbq('init', '1812746315680142'); \/\/ Insert your pixel ID here.\n\t\t\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruckersreport.com\/truckingindustryforum\/threads\/new-driver-needs-help-from-experienced-truckers.2516314\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently was terminated from a mega carrier.
