Yes they can make any reason for letting you go. In alot of states there's the "At Will" law that allows a company to fire you for NO reason. They are not required to give a reason and most will just say your services are no longer needed. If they get into discrimination that's a different story but still hard to prove and very costly.

I know with us, hauling hopper, it's next to impossible to cheat the books. Why? Scale tickets when you load and unload, and all of them have inbound and outbound times on them. Plus, the fuel card report that we get now has a time stamp on it. So if something happens, and some blood sucking attorney wants to find something wrong, he will. Hoppers are not easy to fudge the books on, at all.
Our biggest issue, is daylight savings time. The dang people don't change the time on the scales, until you raise heck with them. So we have to note on the log book that the scale time was not changed for DST.
Here's the deal, trucking has literal disease, and you can't easily get away with cooking the books anymore.
rhock Thanks this. -
Was that ticket a NORMAL day??????????

Lol, it most likely was a normal load. I hauled corn around colby, KS a couple months ago and about every other ticket was over 85K with quite a few over 90K. Thats just the way it rolls in grain country. Oh, and since it was all local we didnt have to run a log book. We usually left the field around 6 or 7 am and didnt finish for the day till midnight or later. Hit the bunk in the travel trailer or just sleep in the sleeper at the elevator and do it over again in the morning. Oh, and what is a 34 hr reset? i didnt see one of those for a over a month, lol. 7 days a week baby, rockin and rollin heavy and fast.
