My truck, the current one, is currently slurping oil like it was diesel. I think in the last 2 months we've put in like 4 gallons. Everytime of course we send in the preauthorization before getting the oil and get approved before we do. everytime, when we send the reciept in on the proper trip that it was authorized for we got paid back. They also paid us back for the antifreeze, scales, tolls (when mr. hubby remembers to send in the reciept), and one time they paid us back the 30 bucks over my hubby went on a 75 gal limit station. Which I honestly didn't expect. So in short, theives they are not. If you follow proper procdure you get you $ back. Now on a DOT violation I can see them not paying, not that I've had one other then a tire issue that they paid to repair, after all something like that you should have caught in your pretrip eh?

As for the fired hubby, I can attest they ARE on a firing spree for solo drivers, though I can assure you they are NOT firing anyone whom is close to a year. They are firing simply those whom they have enough valid reasons to fire, unforunatly for you there were three things dooming your hubby. I don't nessicarily agree with the tactic but please don't spread silly unsubsantiated rumors. It sucks, but its not just Werner being mean, they have so few loads they have to cut back drivers. Its the economy and they are not the only ones. As for the DAC I am sure its fine, check though to be sure. And being fired for the above mentioned things should not keep you from another job. No accidents? No tickets? And a year exp? You're golden to get another job, well... provided there are any in this economy right?
