    Schneider national terminated me for something I didn't do.:biggrin_25513:I was accused of tampering with the qual-com. I had been having problems with the unit for about 6 weeks,and had reported it to my driver mgr. several times.But one night while returning from a sam's club deliverys in vegas,the people in green bay,couldn't track me and had the truck put in the shop to be checked out.the next day I was terminated ! My driver mgr. didn't even stick up for me.I applied for unemployment, and of course ,was denied ! I had to go to labor court to get the issue straightened out, even the judge thought the reasons were based on heresay and thru the reason for term. out,stated there was no proof.All because of two screws coming loose on a qual-com connection.Schneider still has my reason of termination on the dats report as a company equipment violation.Still can't find a job because of this !But i've got two attorneys looking into this issue,it states in ca. that to blackball someone is illegal section 1050 of the labor code.so if u go to work for these people,watch your back !

    SNI has a process by which you can appeal a situation like this. Did you do that? First you go to your dispatchers boss, if you are not happy you can appeal it to a panel that actually has drivers on it. Did you do that?

    I can't figure why his DBL would have been so upset about not being to track him for a bit. Happened to me a number of times, and only took a phone call from DBL to figure it out.

    I think you need to use the process, somehow, this doesn't sound quite right.:biggrin_25525:

    not sure, what happened was two screws that held the main plug to the satelite dome came loose.this was the first time I ever operated a qual-com,and didn't have the slightest idea what they were talking about.The mechanic had to show me what it was they said I tampered with..

    They didn't offer me that option,they said I tampered with company equipment and that was reason for termination on the spot !!EVEN THOUGH IT WAS TOTAL HEARSAY !!This tractor I was driving had been in an accident back east then repaired and brought to Ca. to run on their wal-mart sams club accounts.The #### thing allways vibrated badly when driven.

    I can't prove it,but when they first got the wal-mart Sam's club account,they needed drivers badly.they couldn't train enough in time,so they started hiring exp drivers for the account.But exp drivers demand higher pay,as time went on,I started noticing less and less of these drivers.I don't know if they were finding reasons to term these guys to put the recent school graduates in their positions or what ? Do the math. Makes u wonder.All I know ,is the word is out here in so. cal.They can't keep drivers on that account !

    i have the new qual comm system and twice my black box has went out. it cut off my messages, couldnt track me, had to do everything by phone. not once did they question me or say that i was the cause. not saying you are wrong, just never seen them fire someone for that reason, other than that i think this is one of the better companies out there. hope you work it out!
