    Can someone please help me with this horrific and unbelievable situation? My trainer was a psycho who first threatened to dump me at the next truck stop (no accommodations) and when I demanded to be taken to a motel, she kicked me out of her truck last night at the top of a mountain pass (off I 90 in Washington) at 11:00 at night. I'm a female, the temp was 8 degrees. I called the state patrol, was told to remove all my belongings from the truck, and the patrolman drove me 18 miles down the pass to a tiny town called Cle Elum. I have very little money, and Navajo has refused to pay for my motel or GET ME BACK HOME TO DENVER!?! I'm still in shock. I need help. I spoke with their HR dept and was told they were going to put my last paycheck immediately on my Com Data card so I would have some money. Instead, the payroll department wrote out a check "and mailed it to [my] home this morning."

    Are you kidding me? How could they possibly think this is proper procedure? I've spoken with law enforcement this morning and was told this is a civil matter.

    Please help, any advice is welcome. If I don't have enough money, I'll be kicked out of this motel with no way to get home.

    Thank you in advance for your thoughts and suggestions

    Oh this is the new low! Find a Greyhound and get on it! That is unbelievable I wish you luck, I'm sure that Navajo will be in for this one, What happened that this Psysho kicked you out? There is more to this story then the trainer being crazy.

    I'm sure there are 2 sides to this story.

    However, with the situation you're in, call Navajo and see if you still employed. If you are, keep going up the food chain there, until you get someone to understand what happened, and get you a ride, be it Greyhound, or with another driver, back to Denver.

    They stopped and let you out!!???!!

    Woo good thing they weren't in the army....
    Be one of those privates getting tossed out on the side in a moving truck by sarge.

    Wow they backed the trainer....amazing.

    Gotta be some crazy story.

    You take it out of gear going down a downgrade or somin?

    WOW that sucks! I doubt she's still employed if they mailed her pay check to her home, I wish you the best of luck but I don't know what I can do-I have very little $ also, It's tax session.

    At one point, there was a group created for helping people get home. I think its called missing drivers network on facebook. I don't know if they can help you, but its worth a shot. That or you need to call OOIDA and see if they know of a way to help you.

    Why did the trainer drop you off? And why isn't the company sending a truck through to pick you up? Did you quit?

    In order for us to help you, we need honest answers on what happened.

    I feel bad for what happened. No one should be just put out like that when training. I am sure there is a major disagreement between you and the trainer but poor decision on the trainer and company for putting you out and not helping you. Good luck to you in getting home.

    Another thing I would do is insist that they put the money on your card, and they can put a stop payment on that check. You should not be without money.
