    Stormey just start running your vehicle the speed limit and you shouldn't have any more issues.

    Really, fired because of a call in, no accident, no incident, i mean, people could do that all the time because they hate a certain company.....wait a minute, that gives me an idea lol

    You're a representative of the company. Most safety directors don't like callins. And if you admit there was an incident and thought it was okay to react a certain way against the driver in defense, you might find your next load going towards the terminal.

    People don't call out of the blue. Usually something happened to make the other person furious. This particular case, the lady did everything short of writing her congressman. Like Meltom said, repeated reports are not taken seriously.

    Let's say you spilled a drink and in a panic you bend over to grab your cup. Meanwhile you swerved halfway in the other lane and ran a fourwheeler in the grass. The 4wheeler recovers but calls on you and says you ran them off the road and kept going. Do you think this will be ignored?

    Almost is the key word here, there was no accident and I will tell you this, if drivers can be fired because of call ins, nobody will have a job including you, you think because the company never said anything to you that you have never been called in on, I doubt it. And any company that would fire a driver for this is trash anyway and on their way out.

    If this does work though it would be a neat trick to get rid of trucking companies I don't like, like conway freight, always in the friggin way when I'm in my 4wheeler, might have to make some calls.

    Okay, all. You've made your point(s). No more noise from me on anything. May you all be blessed with courage and wisdom and may your Guardian Angel alway be by your shoulders. Adios, one and all.

    Bullhaulers wife, may you be granted peace and understanding.

    Treefork, I don't speed.

    CondoCruiser, may you be granted your divorce (hehehe...just kidding).

    And to all others, I know what I know as well as you know what you know. Love and peace be with you always.

    No need to go away, it's good to add an outsiders perspective on here. Things get way too one sided when it's all drivers.

    I agree, but some of the comments are way too one-sided. I feel as if I'm just adding fuel to the fire they don't want put out. I rarely complain, am too laid back for my own good, but some of the frequent responses I've had here in just the past few days have all been spoken as if someone had blinders on and couldn't see from side to side, the big picture is put on hold. Spoken as if someone has never had a happy day or is rarely happy. I don't feel like I can take much of that. I'll come back to visit this site from time to time, so look for me.

    Peace be with you.
