Anything they 'put on his record ' is disputable. They have to backup what they put on his DAC, HireRight, USIS, or whatever its called now. The Whole reason companies can get away with this crap is the roll over and show your belly attitude.
I drove for Knight and I had a situation which they flat out told me to run a 700 mile run illegally. I recorded the phone call and took pictures of the qcomm messages I sent stating that I couldn't do this run legally. I picked the load, promptly went 75 miles and parked it for the night and woke up to screaming phone. Upon answering, one they stopped swearing at me, I told them I had audio and a record of the call which they made and that I had pictures of the qcomm and that since they threatened me, I was sending copies of it to UDOT (I live in Utah) and to the Utah Trucking association and OOIDA. I did all three and the salt lake office was visited. I worked there another year and a half and never had an issue with someone telling me to run that way again and suffered no retaliation. I got a dedicated run 2 months later and ran it for over a year and a half until I left the company.
Stand your ground, know your legal rights and record everything and don't be afraid to stand up, respectfully at first, forcefully if bullied .
Or you can just roll over and show your belly.

O/P ..... could it be something regarding the merger with Swift and Knight?!?!? Or has it always been like this for you.... ??~?

I suspect the reason is because they know I'll stand up for myself and won't just rollover.G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
