absolutely unbelievable DWI, one of our company drivers

i still cant get over this. it says volumes about the company and the owner..... and some of his drivers. the driver in question had no car so the boss would let him take his truck home. the driver went and got hammered drunk and apparently decided he wanted more. he got in the daycab peterbilt and drove to the store drunk. he didnt use his turn signal and got pulled over, 5x the legal limit. to add icing to the cake, the boss has allowed him to continue to drive until the state pulls his CDL. unbelievably stupid. he got his DWI about a month ago and tuesday is his last day. i knew the driver got a DWI but i assumed that it was in a car. to think anyone would sacrifice what livelyhood they have to go get some more beer. what a dummy.

the fact my boss allows him to continue to drive with a pending DWI that the driver got while driving the boss's CMV. WOW. it says volumes about the company's standards regarding liability and safety. they have NONE. im just meat in the seat. if it were my company that driver would be out of the truck so fast he wouldnt be able to blink

 

i just think its a mess. the boss cant hire enough and keep drivers, he will do anything to keep meat in the seat. i don't think loyalty has much to do with it. i am looking for another job, but until such a time im going to keep working. im applying at a company that has dump truck and loyboy $18-$20 per hour.

 

i guess its not my problem no matter how stupid it is, im just going to worry about myself till i find something else...... HOURLY.... which is after all why im looking in the first place, get paid by the hour.
