No, get with that company, preferably in person, and get that resolved ASAP. I had a similar thing happen and it became a nightmare for me because the company went out of business and everyone I applied to after that didn’t want to deal with me because their was no one to verify my story. Ten years is a long time to have that hanging over your head and haunting you every time you apply for a job. At the very least I would try getting an official letter on their letterhead stating the facts and hang on to that thing like a DD-214.

I’ve heard through the grapevine that Great Plains is not a bad company. But that policy sucks for sure. I’d do as was suggested above first, and speak to them. If that doesn’t work, it’s time for a lawyer given that you are screwed with an abandonment and it’s worth fighting for. If you have the medical proof and a record of contact with what’s been said and done you could probably have them back off.
NavigatorWife and slow.rider Thank this. -
I understand this isn't the entire issue, but why didn't you take the truck back to the terminal before going home to have your physical? Just in case there was an issue. I try to go the better safe than sry route

Is their terminal that far from your home?
