Hey Patty, since we may never hear from the OP again, would you mind sharing any further details about what happened in your particular case? It's very interesting to read that an owner of a trucking company would take the time and fire a driver on the spot ... I've worked for bigger companies so I wouldn't know what it's like to even know the owner... but Wow ...that's like unproffessionalism at it's worst

i have done the trip before. we have had our differences. #### you think it sounds fishy i do too. he wouldn't even tell me what i did i just assumed it was over that load. no turning down loads for the company. I have asked him several times what were his exact reasons. i over heard him tell the taxi driver that dropped him off saying he flew from Cleveland to Seattle cause "i made him mad" They pay very well so i wasnt stranded broke or anything but i have no clue lol. yea i been driving 13 years. been through and seen alot. I was even one of the poor saps that was boned when arrow trucking shut down 3 days before Christmas. I was always polite. never argued always said yes sir and no sir. hell the week before i got a lvl one inspection and passed. he even gave me a bonus
told me to go see my kids for 3 or 4 days and come to the office 8am friday morning. i got a log violation my second week there for not putting my total milage on the log at the end of the day during a quick inspect in Texas and about a month ago my phone messed up and they just happened to try to call several times during that time. those are the only 2 times they ever said anything to me other than good job.
And about the serbian comment i have nothing against them. never even met one til this job.i have just heard story's over the years about Serbian owners. this company paid well has nice equipment and everything. Im a good driver. i ever turn down loads nyc nothing. They said that they would mail my pay stubs what ever pay im owed and a reason for my firing by June 21st so i guess ill just have to wait and see. Lol i really liked working there too and for me thats hard to find.
About the flight out there for him. i didnt mean that he flew the second i went to sleep. He said the load was supposed to be in puyallup by 7am pac time. i missed that and they wouldnt take the load til 6 am tuesday. im assuming thats when he got the tickets. I have no problems fessing up to my mistakes if i did something that bad to him that warranted this then so be it but hell i dont know. i will keep you posted tho.
On a lighter note i did have a nice 5 day vacation in the tacomah area. One last thing i didnt abandon his truck in washington if thats what any of you are thinking. i wouldnt do that no matter how bad the company was. i have more respect for people than that. -

It would be tight but doable, especially if your truck will run 70+ and you have loose leaf logs.
Jakaby Thanks this.
