no plates

To the OP. You said that the company said blah,blah,blah. Who said? Your DM? Your FM? Or someone just fillin in? If all you have done is talk to some low level flunky who only cares about getting the hell out of dodge at quittin time. Then you need to call the FM or the Terminal Manager. Remeber if it doesn't seem right it probility isn't. Also above all your job---your licence---your money.

 

Being the rookie that I am, I think I checked for everything other than that.

 

1. When did you notice the plate was missing?

2. Why are you driving a truck without a plate?

Yes, SNI could smack your DAC if you raise a stink about this, but imagine how much of a stink your gonna raise if you get DOTed, and smacked with a ticket? And while I realize that according to Rerun there are no CSA points to the driver for no plate, I'd be willing to bet you would be placed out of service until you get a plate on the front of that truck. An being placed out of service does show up on your CSA record, regardless of who the ticket is written to. I know this because I had a truck placed out of service in March, and even though the OOS tickets were written to the company, I still have the OOS on my CSA report. It's shown up alot over the past couple of weeks as I look for work.

 

i ain't aggravated with you...why would i be...?? i got more than 3 square meals a day, a comfortable bed, all the tv i can watch, a regular work day (well i'm out on disability right now), everything is good at my end, i ain't wondering if i'm gonna be working or getting a paycheck, because i won't make the mistake of AGGRAVATING the company, that HAS TOLD ME there is NO PROBLEM driving that truck without that plate...do you think that in all these years of being in business that no one there knows what they are doing..?? i even POSTED what is ALLOWABLE for the company if they had prior permission from the person in charge of the DMV, but if you continually make noises to the company via QC or phone calls they will "get even" with you...like make you sit for days on end, can you afford that..?? or they will send you in the total opposite direction of where you live, so you cannot easily get home, can you afford that..?? what you CANNOT AFFORD is to make too many waves as a ROOKIE which WILL get you canned, and DAC'd (even if it is for something so minor).....then try finding a job after that....

do what you gotta do....it does come down to what the others have said as well....
