    Fired over a single HOS violation? That wouldn't happen if there were a driver shortage!

    That is the truth. Thats the reason they gave me. It could have been also that i kept denying them when they were pestering me to enter one of their outrageous leases and wanted me to be a trainer. Im sorry, but someone with less than a years experience shouldnt be training anyone. I didnt get a ticket either. I had been trying to call after hours and sent messages over the qualcomm explaining what had happened and i didnt know what i should have done. I do now. Dont get stuck in oakland with only 3 hours left on the clock if the shipper wont let you stay on the property. It stated plainly in their policy book that they could let anyone go for any reason, or none at all.

    It wasnt the fact it was an hos violation, it was the fact i pulled over on an offramp while trying to figure out my best course of action.

    Sorry. but still going to call bs on your story. "A mega fired me for not leasing with them" is now the excuse.
    Although I am mildly amused by your stories. Wonder what the next one will be.

    I'm not a fan of stopping on ramps (though I'm sure we've all done it a time or two and it beats stopping on the shoulder) but it seems a pretty silly reason to fire someone with a good record.

    Best of luck.

    Have you found a new job yet? Go with a company that has apu so you can stay comfortable.
    Don't have to work for a company that won't let you idle and not provide an apu.
