I picked up at the Bud plant there headed for Sacramento Cali and when i got to Reno I recieved another message stating my sister had died,again they came thru and even offered to fly me home but I had my dog with me so they got me a load straight back to Atlanta. So far so good. but then while at home(after being out 3 weeks) the second day back I got a call stating my load was ready. I said I wasnt ready to drive and to check on my reason for being home. Got that problem solved but my driver manager had it out for me after that. When I started back out I picked up in Atlanta on friday at a place that was closed until Monday but the pickup was ok as it was pre-loaded headed for Dallas....here we go....got to the Petro and it was way overweight and nothing I could do about it. They wouldnt let me take it back and pick up another and i had to sit in Atlanta under a load until Monday the delivery was scheduled for Monday. By the time they got the load right I headed to Dallas that evening. Then onto Cali again. On my way from Cali to Chicago I was told to pull into the Lincoln Nebraska terminal.I did and there was a write up there waiting for me stating that I went home from Atlanta while loaded{I found out they told the customer in Dallas this also} So I signed it and waited until I got home parked the truck and headed to Chattanooga in my car with all my scale tickets and meal tickets from my weekend in Atlanta.Low and behold I sat down with the driver manager and his boss and said I was wrote up for going home loaded. DM said no I didnt...his boss read it and said yes you did....then I placed all the reciepts on the desk.Oh we can fix this right now...I said no you cant he lied to you and me right here and if I cant have a new manager I'll bring the truck back...and I did as some may have heard about it I bobtailed that truck not to Tunnel Hill but to Chattanooga to the cooperative offive...and parked it right behind a BMW that was in a spot that said Max Fuller.
