Texas Star Express

I worked for TSE for just over 2 months. My last company before was my shortest ever (in 29 years) at 18 months. I had a quintuple heart by-pass in 2001. 5 weeks ago, I was 10 miles from the yard & started having chest pain. I called the yard 10 times, no answer. I sent a 911 message, no reply. Went to the yard & called 911, spent the night in the hospital. When I finally got through to dispatch from the emergency room, They hadn't noticed my message, my truck in the middle of the yard or the ambulance that was 20 feet outside the window. No verdict from doctors, wife picked me up & went home.
Saw my cardiologist, got a heart catheter test, put in a stent. TSE said I had to get a new physical, their docs required a stress test. My doc said wait till 30 days from stent, scheduled stress test for 31st day. TSE said medical leave expired at 30 days, I was terminated & would have to re-qualify.
I called TSE 2 days before stress test so they could begin re-qualification process & was told "not eligible for re-hire". Said I "didn't get enough points" & would not explain further. No late loads, no violations, no bent metal, no bad logs or bills, no service failures & no claims. I was guilty of running safe & compliant, logging 2700-3000+ a week. I was guilty of every committment made being kept. How could I not get enough points?
The company I left says there's a truck ready & waiting for me, if I want it.

that is how tse is and they have done it to alot of drivers over health and that is because they consider you a cost to the medical insurance and they consider you a risk with driving a truck if you have the least little thing wrong with you. I seen it happen to alot of good drivers there.

They did the same thing to me. I got some intestinal infection was out six weeks- finally got clearnace and set me up to fail. Not too mention while I was out sick they cancelled my health insurance and I sent them scrambling.
