    No I don't drive for them,I'm wanting to drive again,but since I've been doing safety/compliance/dispatch.I was just audited myself. with that said I'm so done with the business and politics of trucking.I'm getting back in a truck. They called me for recruit and of course I'm gonna need a refresher in order to get back in the saddle again.I found your post interesting .Looks like a
    lot of trucking companies getting it one way or another.

    My old JB Hunt FM called me Tue saying they need good drivers and asking if I might want to come back to work for them. I got along with this guy and he is now planning freight so it is something for me to consider. I got whiplash in 2011 when I was rearended and haven't been able to work since. I was flattered by that phone call but after reading this thread I am now wondering if the phone call and the investigation are related?

    It's not discrimination if you can't pass a DOT physical.

    Actually, for offices as large as pilot/flying j, 30 agents doesn't seem too serious. Have heard of some corporate raids requiring hundreds of agents.

    Whoa there. I too would like to see a link, but aren't you a bit touchy here? How come?

    West Valley City sure has been in the news a lot. But I had not heard the feebies were involved yet. Told the wife just the other night, that I wished they would take a look at WVC, and was surprised they hadn't already.
    Speaking as retired LE, there is nothing in the world that I hate more, than a crooked cop.
