    I think the media is fabricating.I just watched the video and the trainee said swift told trainer to drop him off at the nearest safe place and it sounds like him and trainer got along.But I don't doubt Swift didn't furnish his transportation home.Companies are very cold that way.

    Well, I never heard of an intrastate only medical, but if this was valid in the story, that's still not an excuse to "drop him off immediately". There was still an authorized driver on the truck. Nice try but, to quote Trump "you're fired, next".

    "Drop him off at the median or off ramp" This guy is in San Antonio, literally 10 minutes from my house. Only 1 airport here with about 4-5 off ramps 1/4 mile from SA Imternational and he had to wait for a cab!?!? I smell the sweet succulent aroma of BS. But hey, it's SWIFT!!! And well his YouTube tag is Jmoneyhotchillencity or something like that.

    Not buying the story as told.

    I've done the same to an employee; not trucking and not 1,000 miles from home... but it was 500 miles. ;) Went to do a project repair and guy decided after we'd driven all day that he was too good to get dirty because he was a tech school graduate... after I bought him a nice lunch too.

    SOFT SAP (name changed to protect the stupid): "I shouldn't have to get dirty, I went to tech school."

    ME: "Umm... come again?" :biggrin_2556:

    SS: "I went to tech school so I shouldn't have to get dirty."

    ME: "Really?" :biggrin_2556:

    SS: "Yes."

    ME: "Uh, Soft Sap, you knew what you were being hired for and the kind of work we do; sometimes it means we get dirty."

    SS: "Yeah, but I don't think I should have to."

    ME: :biggrin_2556: "Well then, you're no good to me."

    *screech*

    ME: "You can see the airport a couple miles over that way, the bus depot is about three miles over the other way. You've got about 30 seconds to grab your bag out of the back and then I'm off."

    SS: :biggrin_2556:

    ME: :biggrin_25510: :biggrin_2559:

    I guess Soft Sap thought he was indispensable because it was just him and me going to do the job. Ain't nobody indispensable.

    I'm guessing he checked 'excepted interstate' or non-excepted intrastate' or 'excepted intrastate' on his medical longform.
