Picked up a hitchhiker annnd got randomly inspected.

My Stepson got Fired from Auto Zone for picking up a lady and her 2 kids. She called the company tell them what a great driver they had. Now this was after he told her to not call. As it would cost him his job. Well she called anyway.
Been driving for 6 years, nothing on his record the whole 6 years with them. Even though it was bad weather. And her and the kids were almost frozen. Still Auto Zone fired him for picking her up. And taking them 3 miles to a safe place.

 

Good to know. I will stick with Advance Auto. Thanks

 

I know a guy that was leased on with a national carrier that lost his contract, told to come in a terminal and surrender his legals and QC because of this very thing. There is ZERO tolerance with most carriers on this issue. I understand the need to be helpful, however don't ever let your carrier know your doing it.

 

Zero tolerance policies are great...




for people without a brain.

 

What a bunch of crap. I just called AutoZone and cancelled our account there. I told them to let their corporate headquarters know why we were dropping them.
I'll shop at NAPA or whatever else is available. AutoZone can struggle along without us.

 

Look at this schmuck, , he broke the rules and picked up a hitch hiker.

I hate to be the one to do this but at one time Rayloc (NAPA) had the same policy. In fact a member of the same church I went too drove for them. He told me they fired 2 drivers over several weeks because some store managers ratted them out.

 

I'm sure most of the big companies have a rule against picking up hitchhikers. We do and it's an insurance company thing.
It's just crappy to fire a guy for that. A warning letter, a little time off, a good butt chewing would all work just as well.
Why lose a good driver over something so trivial?

 

My god, the fmcsa has a policy against it, there is a real good reason regulation exist.

 

I drive a cascadia. Nobody would kill for a cascadia. I'm good to go.
