Just got fired....now what?

What a joke !!!! friends in safety at CRE ??? You act like he had a rear end accident or took the hood off of a Pete. CRE isn't exactly know for putting safety first. And didnt they acked the FMCSA to allow their drivers with Cdl Permit to driver without a licenced Cdl holder in the truck?? How about thier Phase 1 and 2 training more like Phase 1 and 2 team driving, with the so-called in the bunk sleeping with his mouth hanging open whlie the inexperienced rookie drives with nobody actually training the drivers. Three bunk truck

 

It's not so much the right to fire as it is having a reason. The trick is the Union CBA. Outside of this, violating company policy is enough in almost every state, and even with a CBA violating company rules and policies will do it!

 

My reply most likely won't make any sense to you! Total honesty here! I never aspired to be an OO and to be honest I never had an interest in doing so. I have the utmost respect for those that do.SO, that being said my best advice is to hold off on ownership decisions for 2 or 3 years. In that time learn the ropes of this business. In fact, I suspect after a few years you will start to see for yourself what those answers are. I had a private chat with another newbie on this very subject a while back. I told him as I am telling you now. Go hang out in the OO forums and read the questions and answers there. There is a wealth of information in these places. However, I don't think you are ready to take that step just yet. Give it some time. That is the best advice an old company man can give you!
