Presumed Guilty Before Court Trial?

So it seems like you were speeding and got caught, but you're upset because the safety director used your dispatcher (direct supervisor) to communicate that to you. I'm surprised that they put you on suspension, I would think in today's world of CSA that they would consider cutting you lose. Is it just a speeding ticket, or did they get you for reckless driving?

 

Get a hearing, go to court, settle the best you can, then change jobs.

 

Suspension is a form of termination. If they don't call him back they have in essence terminated him. If he is suspended until the outcome of his court case that may take some time.

You should refer to your "driver policy manual" and see what it says regarding such violations. That will determine whether you have a leg to stand on when it comes to suing your employer.

 

Many carriers "policy manuals" dictate that the moment a ticket or warning is issued thay must be notified.

 

I'd love to know more about this case.

Like what state this happened in, what state you hold your CDL in. Makes me wonder, wonder, wonder (about stuff that doesn't concern me)

 

got to read the hand book of that company. most companys books say if you get a ticket over 11mph u will be fired. alot of this comes down to an inspection report.. thats what the companys really worried about cuz they dont want csa points if u get a ticket without an inspection report it dont go on csa lol

 

He didn't say an inspection was performed, so why would CSA matter?
