I started working there in March of 2019 as a company driver. I was well welcomed there and my my experience in driving. I have been driving for over 30 years and have only 3 incidence in those 30+ years of driving. I was starting a run in July of 2019 and as I picked my trailer up at the cold storage and started down the freeway I noticed the truck was running warm and it could be needing coolant being close to the shop I was going to save the company money by going there for the coolant. As I was heading there, there was vehicle in front of that was going very slow on the highway in front of me and I started slow down and the partie in the vehicle was looking back at me. I got to my exit and that vehicle follow me down the exit and was making a left hand turn. I was sitting and then took off like a bandit and I never seen them tile I got to the shop they worked the same company as I did. I drove to the shop and parked my truck to go in and get my coolant. All of a sudden she came around the left side of the trailer and truck. She was swearing at and saying that I was tailgating her this want on for about 5 to 10 min and all did is sit in my truck listening to it then she started toward the building so I got out of the truck to into the building thru the big doors as I got close to the building she came at me waving her arms and starting on me again I stayed facing the building and said if you not stop I will need to slap you it just came out of my mouth and I wish I never said it but I did I never did it I just said it. The next thing I know I out for the week and was call into the conference room and let me go. I never received a warning or anything from this company. No accidents and zero violations. If there is such a shortage of divers way let me go and denied me unemployment because they placed something on my back ground no one will talk to me.

Parsing is your friend. Secondly, yes, you shouldn't have said those things, if I read that right. Threatening any physical action such as slapping is usually a bye bye in just about any industry. This is one of those learn and move on kinda deals.
bigblue19, snowlauncher, polo king 92 and 4 others Thank this. -
That's chicken squat on halvors part !
We put up with enough bs ! And I'd have told halvor to pound sand as I walked . -

Any physical violence is not tolerated at any company, even if just a threat. The company has to address any threat, even if just said in heat of the moment. I know what you are saying and have thought that many times...but the mouth filter kicks in!!
This doesn't make Halvor a bad company, what if they swept it under the rug and something did happen down the road. The lawyers would have a hay day.
Sorry for you situation driver...keep your chin up and move on!! -
You're right, "That doesn't make Halvor bad company"
For me it was the low pay, slow trucks, micromanaging, lazy and incompetent dispatch, telling me where to buy fuel while having no clue what my day or schedule entailed, the "do as I say not say as I do" attitude of management and the owners, the backstabbing drivers that turn you in for petty things in an attempt to earn brownie points for themselves...
the squeaky clean image they try to portray turns foul real fast after you work here for a few months and really get to know what kind of people you work for.
And there are several threads on here going back years that confirm it.
My advice to the O.P. is work for a smaller outdit that doesn't use the DAC/hireright garbage.
That is H.L.'s favorite weapon when you quit on bad terms or they want to get rid of you. Not only do they want you gone, they want you to never find a driving job again.snowlauncher, Lonesome, jon69 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Dont see them anymore .
