    JUST SAY NO. Driver's need to take personal responsibility, slavery was banned in 1865 by the 13th Amendment.

    Can’t believe his boss came to his house, forced him into his car at gunpoint, drove him to the truck, and threatened his life to get him to leave again.

    The comment by cattleman84, or the way driver got money!
    If latter, I agree.

    Drive should've said nope, tried can't do it.

    If they didn’t carry workman’s comp, what the chance they can even pay out $80 million.

    I doubt he even gets enough of a payment to make up for lost wages for losing his job and probably being unable to get another job in the industry.
     
    buddyd157 and Old Man Thank this.

    Different angle to stir up a #### storm.
    I agree the driver should say no, but plenty of arguments on both sides.
    If the guy is awarded $80M or $80K maybe it will get the attention of industry dispatchers and management? Give them another obstacle to slither around if they hold some sort of responsibility.
