Abandon federal freight load

File this against the company, it’ll raise attention
Coercion | FMCSA

 

No it won’t.

 

The law says it will, did they lie to us to get another worthless law on the books?
So does that mean spitting on the sidewalk really doesn’t cause a health risk??
What else have they lied to the people about?
Epidemic?? Maybe it’s actually just a genetically engineered flu??

 

Actually, it doesn't. I have been down this road before. To win such a suit YOU the driver MUST prove you were damaged. In the OPs case, there is no damage because he was a student. The problem is solved as soon as the student is dropped off at a hotel or home. Oh, BTW this is NOT a law. 49CFR is regulations issued by the USDOT.

IF we were speaking about a solo driver and he was fired because of getting sick, then there is a possible case. Question? What if a driver has a red alarm load and is sick. The company repowers said load leaving the sick driver with no load and having to sit for a day or so? Is this now a violation of the USDOT coercion rule?

It is not my purpose to nitpick. However, To win such a case there are many checkboxes that have to be filled out. Any such element of the case found missing case will get tossed and in some cases with prejudice and the FMCSA will find it unsubstantiated. As I have stated, I have been down this road. I know from painful experience this rule is not what most drivers say it is!

 

I would say he’s damaged.
He may never drive again, and, we’re in an epidemic and there’s a driver shortage.
He should be compensate for the grand total of $4.97 minus taxes and court costs so be around -$955.03

 

I worked with Covid-19 and Pneumonia for a week. I didn't have the lack of smell/ taste or other symptoms associated with covid so I didn't think I was a danger to others. On August 27th I finished the loads parked at a truck stop and went to the hospital. Thirteen days later I complain my way outta the hospital and back home on a oxygen machine. Still not back to work. Luckily I'm with a good company that's sticking with me.
I'll drive sick if it's SAFE to do so but with covid you go from I can do it to I can't stand-up very quickly.
Saftey first people, ya kill someone while driving sick you are going to jail. It's just not worth it.

 

Re-inforce things, Barf all over the truck and trainer.
They will get the point
