    No this has not happened to me. I was speaking in generalities of life. Having an attitude of vindictiveness usually is not conducive to a happy life. But, yes.. I have been vindictive in my adult life though I don't make a practice out of it. 30 years ago my sister and I seemed to enjoy throwing each other under the bus. Our parents caught onto that pretty quickly and it started to backfire on the one doing the tattle-taling and getting in trouble too! :biggrin_2559:

    You do have a point there Fancypants. I have spoken with drivers from other companies and they are making similar to what I am making. Maybe staying and getting another bonus is the better option, along with getting more vacation time.

    By the way, do you use mouthwash? Some contain 12% alcohol (e.g., Scope) and some people smell like it was peppermint schnapps, not mouthwash, they just gargled.

    A21CAV,

    If you're interested, the company I work for is Schneider. The fleet that gets paid a salary is called Flex Fleet. Everyone else gets paid by the mile. So if you are interested, remember, FLEX FLEET!!! I wouldn't accept anything else if I were you. Give them a call.

    Are you sure this isn't all coincidence? Maybe your name was pulled for a random. I've seen and heard all kinds of lame excuses just to get the heat off one telling you. You need to come in and sign this, you need to go to the shop. Then when you get there, they pop the news on you.

    It's highly possible that's the scenario if you talked with your dispatcher earlier about her.

    By the way, it's not neccessary to post your name. You'd be surprised who reads the forums, facebook and other social sites.

    You know what? She would do something like that. Hahaha!!!LOL! That's ok though. I do believe that what goes around comes around. Thanks for cheering me up though. We all need a laugh sometimes.

    You know what? I brought up that point too. I do use Listerine every morning. But Listerine smells minty and alcohol in the breath is the complete opposite...it stinks! I think part of it was possibly that, the other part was maybe her having to wake me up at 5AM when my Qualcomm said delivery at 6AM. Maybe those 2 factors had something to do with it. Or maybe she just wanted to go for the kill for some strange reason.

    Condocruiser,

    The dispatcher told me where the accusation came from. The moment I finished helping them unload the trailer, I received a message in my voicemail. It was the dispatcher telling me to stay put and not go anywhere. I didn't know what was going on. I thought they wanted me to take a backhaul. But when another Schneider driver came to the scene, I knew something was wrong. The dispatcher wouldn't give me any info on what was going on. So I called the one who is in charge of me and she explained everything. So no, it wasn't a random. It was the store manager.

    You did the right thing be the bigger person and go on with life and the next time you see her just be professional and polite, that will burn her more than doing something stupid.

    This is one more reason why I'm all for breathalyzers in trucks. It would be the perfect way to cover your ### in situations like this. Not to mention stall those drivers that find it ok to hang out in their truck at drinkin beer.
