Threatened by company that they'll report truck highjacking

head for their yard with the load,,if they charge you with highjacking the load and you get arrested you can sue the crap out of them,,tell everyone who the company, too many good companies to work for so you will find other work, generally only the mega carriers us DAC so go home for get about them

 

Munoz did a fantastic job getting me home when my mom was near death and getting me back to attend her memorial service. Told me to take all the time I needed. Some companies do care.

 

Problem drivers find problem companies. That's the way it's supposed to work.

I have a hard time imagining any company getting a driver within 170 miles and then telling him he has to miss a plane to a wedding. That tells me they don't value his contribution for one reason or another. They flat do not care if he works there.

When did the OP request this time off? Did he request it in writing? If the company had ample written notice, then there is no #### way I would miss that flight I can tell you that.

 

problem being, until one works for said company, how does one know how they will act?

 

Take a picture of what they wrote. if they actually said you would be charged with highjacking if you moved the truck, call the cops and show them the message then give them the keys and get a rental car and go home. They cannot expect you to move the thing, even to deliver their load, after a threat like that. Let the cops take possetion of it.

 

Not saying it never happens, but no. If I process a driver application, the only thing I am required to do is send off a verification of no dirty drug/alcohol tests. As an employer, the only thing I can legally do is verify work dates and pay rate that you supplied to me in the first place. If you told me this story over an interview, I'd automatically take anything "extra" I heard in a reference call as sour grapes. That is, of course if you have presented yourself as the professional you seem to be, and everything else on your background agreed with what you put on the app.

And yeah, the extra load was chicken-poop. A good carrier wouldn't do that. An excellent one would have re-powered your first delivery you got detained on, so you could do your thing as planned.

 

one of your trucks attempted to enter a scrap yard in athens,ga. that i pull from today and entered the scale at over 15 mph. i was waiting on my paper work and the safety lady for that yard,she has clout and this is not a small mom and pop set up,was leaving for the day but turned around and went back into the office.i am not sure if they refused to load and or unload,but the driver was turned away.

the dude was flying. the entire office staff was in there and was uptight regarding that driver's idiocy.

best of luck to you driver. i have never heard of nor seen your company trucks before but the one driver spoke volumes today-
