    The company *finds out real quick when I stop the truck on the shoulder, order the co-driver out, and call the cops (both for the assault, and for the need for at least one driver to take a ride to somewhere safe).

    (*) This might not be as objective as the corporate types would like (unless co-driver already has a reputation for it), but it will at least solve *my* problem.

    I also have a very comprehensive rule regarding team driving: Only if I have personally recruited and trained the co-driver.

    The thing that irks me is the original post is most concerned about the trucking company becoming involved in what basically is HE SAID SHE SAID BS.

    Your co driver pokes you in the eyes while you’re operating the truck. Your life is in danger. “Oh, how will I ever get the company to believe me?”

    Victim.

    Someone is trying to harm you, possibly end you and you’re concerned about being a good little employee? Embarrassing.

    Six back quiet.

    you are the CEO of your own life, hire and fire accordingly. if still paying your dues, allow the thief craft their teaparty victory, take the L, and YOU get stronger dragging their boat anchor contribution around. the priceless value in archetype bad example individuals and their rapeish southbound cultural dogma is less in what they have to teach you, more in what you have to learn from them
