On my trip to San Diego I experienced my last moments as a driver for other companies; this trip was a total disaster, full of mishaps and total losses.
I left at 4:33 am on a Wednesday; the delivery had to arrive that same day between 12:33 pm and 7:13 pm. I was carrying construction materials in the truck, so obviously everything had to arrive in good condition.
I tried to avoid getting tickets, but it was impossible. I think it was the day I got the most tickets. The police are all over the streets, and speeding is my enemy. Around 6:11 a.m., I stopped to fill up the gas tank since it was a trip of more than seven hours.
After filling the tank, the sun peeked out; it was already past 6:00 am and I thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful sunrise.
At one point I stopped on the side of the road outside a farm to watch the cows eating; I've always dreamed of having my own animal farm.
Due to my own carelessness, I collided with a truck, causing significant damage to my car, fines, and damage to my cargo. The truth is, I had to continue my journey.
A few kilometers further on, due to carelessness, I had a strong collision with a concrete guardrail. The engine automatically shut off and would not start again. I received a notification that I had to repair it, so I had to call the roadside assistance group.
The repair cost me $11,168, plus $1,500 for the tow truck. At this point, I had a total loss because they were only going to pay me $8,500 for this trip, so it was essentially a lost trip.
I continued my trip until I reached my destination and unloaded at the designated location, but the company rated the trip as damaged and charged me a $9,862 penalty for damages. What a disastrous trip! I'm going to take out a bank loan to buy my own truck, since I already have my garage, and it will improve my life as a trucker.
