    Yup, 'right to work' pertains to the right to gain emplyment without being forced to be in a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment.

    I won't be for too much longer. A maximum of 6 months. You never know. Everyday I want to quit and find a better company. 18 months, 160,000 safe miles and I should have a lot more opportunities.

    It could be tomorrow that I park this truck in his front yard and just walk away.

    The day my company tells me this is the very last day I work.

    They are not in control of YOU and that truck once that truck has you driving it - you are.

    Put on your big boy pants and move on. What is it with everyone wanting to sue everyone else? Quit shaving them and move on. The whole story is not out yet. BTW your scale problems are all on you. You do not pull that van until it is fixed. Ifv he company does not fix it then their customers suffer. You should not have pulled the trailer after the first time you discovered the issue.
     
    G.Anthony and magoo68 Thank this.

    I don't think I need to tell you this, cause I believe you already know this, take care of your CDL like if it is a child, it's unfortunately that there are companies like this, best of luck
