    Like semi retired said u may live in at will state if u do an employer can fire u with no cause the only way u can get a law suit that if u can prove discrimination. Sorry dude hate u un employed but u got cdl ON TO THE NEXT ONE. If u THINK u got law suit wrong im sure u not the first to get fired this way and most companies tell u no force dispatch that is a true lie u don't u get fired so good luck on getting a new job

    I think under the circumstances no lawyer will take this case.Start looking for another job and hope for the best.

    You are correct, SRSD.
    Iowa is an "At Will" (AW) state, which is quite different than Right To Work (RTW).
    I did respond to the other poster, using the same (mistaken) RTW term as he used. I knew RTW didn't "feel" right when I typed it in response.
    BTW, I never claimed to be anything close to a "lawyer", as my post #8 states. In fact, even criticized those who tried to act as one.
    But thanks for the legal terminology correction, for the applicable posts.

    Probably not the best crowd to be working for anyway - good luck with another job.

    Nothing. If you were fired in an at will state, they can fire you if they don't like the way your hair is combed. Go find a better job.

    Based on what you shared, the employer has right to fire you, but you would still qualify for unemployment in my state.

    But every state is different.

    How about details for the type of truck you were to be driving??? Did the truck have a sleeper or was it a day cab? If it was a day cab, would the company be providing a hotel each night? Would they also be providing funds for meals?
