    Can you get a comcheck for your hotel. Can they direct bill this thing or something. If you didn't have a credit card then they would be doing this some how. I would tell Werner that I'm out of money for a hotel. Even if you aren't so they can start taking care of this.

    As for a lawyer. What are you going to need a lawyer for. When I said my defense. I meant excuses on how to explain the reason for your being fired or quitting. I just don't think the I put diesel in the def tank and drove it 500 miles is going to get people to look at you. Also if Werner does decide to keep you. You might want to stick around awhile till some of this isn't fresh on their mind.

    That is again very good information, if I only knew such thing existed. Werner has about 350 training videos, many of which are not for the drivers. As you probably know, Werner kind of "assigns" you the videos/modules that you have to get through. No DEF related videos have been assigned.

    In case they want me to cover repairs, which I clearly cannot.

    I was out of luck again, when it came to paying for the hotel, because that place does not take checks of any kind. The only other hotel did not have rooms and was $100/night.

    I am as much prepared as I will ever be, patty...

    Sorry, misunderstood you there.

    I will be bringing the question about the hotel to my fleet mgr. That is on the plate for tomorrow morning as well. You are right, if you don't have a credit card to pay, and you made $500 for the last two weeks, I don't see how you would pay for hotel.

    IF I get to keep my job I will stick around for a while longer.

    Patty, i had just gotten the truck, this is the first ever fill up with this truck (well, second, now that i think of it, but first for DEF). For the rest of your post - I agree, I made a mistake. But this is post #1 of this thread all over again.
