Fired For 1st Preventable Accident In 10 Years

File for unemployment, if they deny you, appeal it. You will then have a hearing and be able to state your case.

 

You probably won't be unemployed but a few days.

I was fired one time in Tennessee and that disqualified me for unemployment.
Had a new job within the week anyway, so I wasted my time with the unemployment office.

 

Wait a minute, you were fired because of a personal issue? Usually, at least in the past, you usually got one, as long as you didn't kill or maim someone.. Depending on whether the job is worth it, and it doesn't sound like it is, I'd go after that person. That recording is gold for you.

 

State laws vary regarding your situation. I would file for unemployment and then appeal it like stated above. I wouldn’t get caught up in legal stuff. If you got your job back after a legal battle I don’t think anyone internally would like you. Plenty of companies hiring.

Now what might bite you is who will hire you. The big companies probably will be able to hire you but the pay won’t be what your used to and everyone now does extensive training in the newbie fleets, so try to find a smaller operation first. Good luck enjoy the vacation.

 

sometimes people just do not like other people.

now, it is highly possible that your company had adopted a no accident policy, recently, especially if they had to pay pay out of pocket, some accident claims, or they filed a claim with thier insurance carrier.

you should be employable, your new employer will most likely want a police report of the accident.

you'll be hire again.

good luck

 

I have a relative who was fired for getting cited for running a red light. On the spot. Told where to park truck and find his own ride home.
He told the cop there was no way in the world he could safely stop for the light. Then asked the cop if he would rather cause a wreck or run the light.
Cop said don’t matter. It is Memorial Day weekend and we were told to write citations.
Hasn’t been to court, convicted or any of that. SEE YA!

 

Why bother filing? You can spend the time putting out a few apps and be running again before unemployment kicks in.

 

In the amount of time u spend filling out all the paperwork and dealing with bs for unemployment , u could have another job.... What was this "preventable" accident?

 

Depending on the accident he might not be hireable to a mega for several years because the company will ding his Dac with something like "Driver violated saftey regs" and his mvr will have points as well. Thats when its time to look on Craigslist.
