    Did you find a great deal on ammo you couldn't pass up? Do you do other shopping for home when you're in the truck?

    The "problem" is, it is his (former) employer's policy. The employer can make any legal policy they want to. He can abide by policy or violate it and suffer the consequences should he choose to ignore policy. We know what he chose to do.

    Oh man a Jeep... Use to have a 1975 model. Just obtained a a 1976-77 project jeep from
    My father in law last week. I'm a tractor nut so I almost made a mess on the ground when he opened up the trailer and said..... Oh yea here is the hydraulic 3 point hitch for it too :eek::) Wow!!!
    It has been setting for over 20 years but still good shape. He lost his heart on it, he retired and 1 week later his wife died and it has set since. At least he had already started the restoration so it won't be to bad. Noticed it came with a few brand new spare tire covers still in plastic, gotta look at those yet.

    I would bet that the OP got paid to haul in the wagon what he got canned for hauling in the cab.

    In this instance, what's in the wagon is irrelevant to what the OP has (had) in his cab. For example, there is probably a company policy prohibiting alcohol in the cab, yet the OP has likely delivered many cases of it.

    Our local drivers will sometimes borrow a road drivers truck to do pickups/dropoffs if they need a truck and they are short a local truck. The cab curtain stays drawn and they're not supposed to go snooping.

    The bag should have been taken to dispatch unopened.
