    3rd reason, you having cancer, for medical reason they had to let you go, as you may need urgent medical attention while your towing a load, and then they would have to get someone to take over from where ever you are.
    This line of work, to have a medical problem as bad as cancer, is as bad as it could get. Medical wise.
    Also, you need ot look after yourself, and cancer can be a tough thing to get by.

    How do they know you got cancer ? Because you told them. Why ? Just say you're sick and out for the day or whatever. No need to blab it all over town.

    Yer, but its better that he tells them, (Well if he was on good terms with them); As cancer can weaken the body and the mind, to be driving a rig would be a huge burden on his body.

    Sorry they couldn't find office work for you, just take care of yourself.

    I seriously doubt this story. Not doubting the cancer, but the firing from Star.

    its hard to say. companies fire for crazy reasons sometimes. I had cancer but was not driving truck at the time. I had to quit working and go on welfare. I almost died so i am glad to be alive. I hope this driver is better health wise now. Always remember drivers, it doesn't always happen to the other person.
