Employer Taking My Money - Need Advice.

Chances are the desk jockeys assume that a driver will just as soon pay for the damage as get clocked with a preventible on their job history or DAC. The point being is I have no doubt they will clock the DAC with a preventably in any case. The office staff is just looking to get the money, get damage off the books and onto a driver as a preventable, and then have some leverage against the driver in the form of a preventable. That just how these spiteful types work.

Best to fight it now and work to get written conformation that the accident is considered non-preventable. No need to roll over and take it with a smile like so many drivers do.

 

The real question that no one has asked..

What is the proper following distance for an orange barrel?

 

^^^ I am sure some desk jockey has the answer for that. Probably a JJ Keller film to go along with it.

 

If this was the barrel you hit ignore any advice already given here.

 

Why is HoneyBooBoo in the mirror?

 

I hired on with a outfit a long time ago. They wanted me to sign a form that stated I could be responsible for accidents resulting in the loss of a load. As in pay for the freight. I refused to sign the paper. Safety initialed it with the phrase "refused to sign".

 

Nice resolution.

 

I give him a week. Just kidding!
