I Was Illegally "Terminated".

i love it when drivers talk lawsuits and other avenues of legal actions.

it's like, "hey i got a new job, and i CAN take time off, to pursue this legal action anytime i need to"

bull puckey..there are delays, in any court venue...anyone got time to go to court, only to arrive ON TIME, and be told that the case was moved to another date/time, maybe even a different court house..??

i know if i were working, i'd not be wasting my time pursuing any illegal actions, unless it was for murder, assaults, etc..but "illegally terminated"?

i don't see the rhyme nor reason for pursuing such actions.

they "the company" has attorneys on retainer, and can stall time after time, all the while, this guy will most likely LOSE his new job..

but hey, what do i know, he thinks he's got a case and will win....

being retired, i can "see" the not too smart things drivers think they can accomplish.

 

Well yes it is a waste of time, Just move on it is best for you.

 

yes, you have wasted your time, many of us told you that in the beginning.

even if where you live you are allowed by law to record conversations, always remember that big companies have equally bigger lawyers that can slam dunk you.

move on, good luck to you

 

I disagree Buddy. OP, if you think this is important to you, than you should pursue action. It's not up to any of us to decide what is and is not important in your life.

But, with that being said, for me personally I would just pursue your benefits that may or may not be available to you, like Cobra health insurance or unemployment.

it's a shame really, that so much power is given to these companies here in america. Especially in these "right to work states" (what a joke). In many Western European countries, employees are entitled to much more rights and its a lot harder for employers to fire somebody.

 

Find out where the dude who fired you lives and make a post on Craigslist saying he’s giving away ps4s or something and post his address.

Then get a better job, if it’s mega at least make sure it’s union.

 

They cannot make the policy any more clear. When you on boarded you were given 35 individual policies that you had to click I accept. Each one is a paragraph long, and each one is on a different page. If you didn't read what you are agreeing to, thats on you. The no recording clause is number 7 or 8, if I recall. Overspeed is numher 3.

In regards to running nights - in tye future wh3n you report for duty go onto line 4 for 5 minutes. This shows dispatch that your clock is running and limits their options.

For example if you set your availability at 0600 and showed 14 on the 14, dispatch is well within their rights to give you a load that picks up at 1400 and delivers at midnight. But if you went on duty at 0600, that load would never be considered for you. It will still allow them to put a 1700 pickup on you and have you run overnight - at that point you have been given 10 hours off so you have a fresh clock.

A significant number of dedicated store delivery acco7nts require running overnights. Once you know when l9ads are typically ready, adjust yourself to the freight and life gets easier.

I know you have footage of not hitting "A" mailbox, but it could be a different mailbox that you hit. Regardless of whether you wanted to stay or not you really needed t9 fight the accident claim - you needed to make them show you the pictures. You didn't, so now that will follow you for a bit.

You seem relatively intelligent, you just need t9 think further ahead and be more aware.

 

IMO, fighting to keep a job is like begging a lousy woman to stay or begging a broker for a backhaul.


"I refuse" has gotten me way farther in my own life than "i surrender."

 

I'm pretty sure "excessive overspeed" is when you exceed 61 MPH on foot for too high of a percentage, not exceeding 67.9 MPH. 67.9 MPH is the maximum allowable speed. From what I understand, if you hit 68 and slow down immediately you are fine, but ymmv obv

 

I try not to dip below 68mph. If i do for too long, things go bad.

I could never endure a nanny truck.
