Yeah, clean out your truck. Going a little over on your HOS here and there isn't a big deal, but that's not why you're getting fired.
Willfully violating your HOS, planning it in advance and then TELLING YOUR SAFETY DEPARTMENT ABOUT IT is why you're getting fired. If you had just done it without saying anything you would have been fine.
What are signs a termination is coming?

Probabaly just a a safety meeting so they can document it, and put it in the file . If they ever get audited so the DOT auditor will see you got pulled in for a reprimand .
the premeditation is the tricky part , and it depends on how much over the HOS you ran.
If it was 16 minutes , that’s likely no big deal.
If you ran 4 hours over, , then that’s a big deal.
I wouldn’t sweat it too much ,if you get canned you get canned . It’s happened to
Most drivers on here .at some point .Badmon, gentleroger and NavigatorWife Thank this. -
That safety meeting is 100% a piss test just so you know. Don't stress over it, plenty of companies hurting for capable drivers. You'll be fine
