    If you're off of a medication, the question is how long do you have to wait until you can drive again? They don't answer that. I would also bet they're still going to try to force me to make payments even though I'm "fired" even though I don't work for them anymore...

    Anyone want to take that bet?

    Quite frankly I think that's a dangerous practice. But they can, and will, do it. They've leased a truck to you under their authority...

    At this point my mind has been made up if I stay in this industry. O/o seems to be the way to go or ic if you own the rig already... I enjoy working for SNI, but they like to force things down people's throats it seems. I for one don't like that and if I did I wouldve worked in porn.

    I don't know that unplugging the mcp would do anything... Had he unplugged it prior to the kill switch being thrown sure. If you'd gotten the phone call first, I admit I'd have pulled over and pulled the mcp out real fast...

    Oh so you made it back to the hotel?
    My truck isn't stripped, it's loaded besides the dang no steering wheel controls.
    They pay $1.30 to get the empty but it's really $0.65 because you have to deadhead back from the middle of nowhere.
    They haven't and won't send a company driver to get that trailer because they know there's no Freight up there soo they want to send me instead :biggrin_25510:

    I'm safely in a hotel waiting on Flight out of here Sunday morning. I think they finally figured out that if anything happened to me, my wife would own Schneider National in the event of my death. Although I had to take a 7 hour bus ride that I could have driven in 4.

    That's why I stopped leasing a truck from them. I like working for SNI overall, but at the end of the day if things go bad, my truck's title is in my name, it belongs to me. The position the OP is in is a perfect example of the kind of situation that I always worried about when leasing a truck - that 1 in a million chance that something, somewhere, gets screwed up, and then suddenly that truck that is supposedly "mine", suddenly isn't any more.

    Best of luck to you OP getting this all resolved.

    wow that's terrible, I'm sorry.

    I don't really understand how this all came about..
    You were medically clear to drive prior on whatever you were taking so why not now?

    Oh there is freight up there, but not at this time of year.

    Does that KW have full gauges? Pyro or turbo?

    So, just to be clear, I am bringing my own truck to Schneider, they can't use the MCP they install to "kill" my truck if they choose, can they? THAT would be a situation I would be raging mad over!
