    Being from the state of Georgia allows a company to fire you for no reason. They can say anything and the person can say nothing. Isn't doesn't matter move on.

    Just let it go. For whatever reason, they didn't like you and they eventually would have fired you for something anyway. Personality conflicts happen.
    Find yourself a better job.

    Where are you located? Trimac was taking people with limited experience at one time. But I’ve heard they have a ton of rules also. What about Foodliner?

    I'm in metro Atlanta. I've heard some of their stuff is food-grade like flour and what not I know they make one hell of a mess when they're unloading off them train rails

    Never been fired, but there’s too many jobs out there to be worried about it, put in apps for the jobs you think are unobtainable, out of reach, if you don’t ask for the best you’ll never have it

    Being fired is a very good time to unload both barrels verbally and get what is eating you like a cancer to tell Mr Canker just how badly he is running operation.

    And no wonder he cannot keep drivers.

    Twice they called me back the next morning HEY where you at?

    One employer mixed profanity and firing to get it out of his spirit. Calls us back a thousand times, HEY! Suns up, yer late get moving out of that bed. (Bad word)

    I actually have a lifetime job with him, all I have to do is show up. That will be very hard to do as we lost Snowball, our foreman and dear friend not too long ago.

    from what I've been told about the terminal manager at the Atlanta location is if he fire someone and the regional manager does not agree with his firing that he will threaten to quit the company. he doesn't step back and realize maybe I overreacted he just runs through it.
