Maybe because she's tired of listening to someone's incessant whining.

They never called and told me..i called vice president and dispatcher and safety no one knew who fired me but it was in the computer i abonded load/team driver/and truck.... Then they said i was in the hole for over $8,000.00........ They refuse to let team driver (girlfriend come home and they all refuse to answer my questions!!!!! We was never late never refused load and was top team for our driver manager..they hired girlfriend as company driver but keep her out of our home area...

And this is the kind of thing that happens when you get sucked into a Fleece Purchase...
If you would have done some research you would discover that NCI hired the clown from Prime who got them in such trouble with their Fleece Purchase program and as with all Fleece Purchase programs would have stayed away. Sorry for your bad choices.

Too funny you guys!!

A man's mother dies and that is all you have to say?



Sorry to hear about your mother and father Smitty.


The thing is you usually get about 3 days bereavement leave for your mothers passing.

As far as your father goes, by law you could take up to 12 weeks of medical leave to care for a family member. But you have to tell the company and get acknowledgement. You can't just disappear.

By your post I can't tell what communication went on. But if they approved it and still terminated you I would be doing my homework on the Federal Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Once approved they can't touch you for 12 weeks. At minimum they would have to reinstate you and pay you back pay.

Doing the fleece/purchase never/never scam doesn't entitle him to squat>he's a contractor NOT an employee.
