Company gave my dedicated route away to a Medal of Honor veteran.......

Time to move on to a better company.

 

Best thing you can do is go in there and talk to the boss and let him know how you feel about it all. I mean honestly though... a Medal of Honor recipient. That’s insane.

Might need to just let them know how you feel but then suck it up and move on. Don’t be mad at the driver either, he doesn’t know he’s messing up your world.

 

you don't "win" the MOH.

my opinion? the boss did an honorable thing.

 

The MOH driver probably doesn't even know this happened.
Highly unlikely the boss told him you were losing your run.
If the boss had told him, he probably wouldn't have taken the run.

 

Did he get a nuke?

 

I won't mince words but it isn't your load.

I've had great work pulled from under me and still didn't get upset about it.

this is one reason why it pays to be flexible, you'll be rewarded later with better work.

He most likely does know.

 

Its trucking. go figure. Suck it up.
Also could be other reasons behind the scene

 

As someone with first hand knowledge it's way easier to keep things to yourself.

This can probably be talked out with the boss. I would try that first before just quitting

 

well this is a tough one.

the guy did his time in a war zone. i don't know what job he had here, before he left to do battles.

it has been said that Vets have a hard time finding employment at times, when they return home.

maybe the boss is a former military man himself, or has someone in his family in the service?

it would have been better if the boss spoke to you first, and told you to your face, rather than blindside you. but he IS the boss, and if he is the OWNER then he is pretty much free to do as he deems fit.

this could still work out for you, in another good route, and a new truck for you as well.

i'd "sit tight" for a while and let things play out.

there is no point in telling the Vet what happened, as i think one of the other drivers will most certainly speak up. there is ALWAYS ONE GUY that does this, at every company.

the Vet, deserves a job, he did after all make some sacrifices as well, and maybe actually lost a lot, while in the war zone, like the job he had. maybe THAT company went belly up and he could not go back there?

give it some time, be reasonable, life throws all of us a curve ball every once in a while.

it's how YOU handle it, that makes YOU a man of character, and humbleness.
