Overweight ticket, shipper wrong about weight.

For me its 60 = im 34000 on my drives or very close

 

I wouldnt fire him over it. Its Virginia and thr ticket is writen to the company... You be on the hook for unemployment...
Id give him the option of paying over time from his pay. Or quit.

 

For me on my air gauge it's about 60psi. Pete 579. Electronic gauge junk.

He just wanted to get down the road. Like I said before he put his wants and needs ahead of everything. Short term thinking not a professional for sure. He would need to be superhuman for me to overlook this and not fire him. At the minimum he gets a written warning and loses his performance bonus. Don’t think it’s legal to deduct pay or make him pay the fine but if a portion of his pay is a bonus you can work with that. I used to pay $50/wk plus $50 per good inspection. These days I would probably double both those. I actually liked when I had to pay those out

 

Yep. Told ya. Been there

 

I don’t see why. Driver broke the law.

 

Something about your avatar ??

 

Than why does virginia fine the company???
Ita not even a real law more like a tax if anything... Carrys no points..

Making the driver pay for the fine is punishment enuf since well it was completly avoidable...

Now if he wants to quit instead of paying so be it. But it wonr hurt him to find a new job the following day with out any problems whats so ever...

 

They fine the company so they can collect more money. What driver would pay a $1500 fine?

State laws vary but I’m Just saying HERE it would be asking for wrongful dismissal suit if I said “pay or quit”. His lawyer would argue it was constructive dismissal because the driver couldn’t afford to pay therefore he was forced to quit even though he did nothing wrong. Driver must not have done anything wrong because he didn’t get fired right?

Also illegal here to deduct pay.

OTOH, pretty sure I could fire him outright for failing to follow the law.
