Please don't argue, you have no power.

this morning I got a call from a sheriff deputy in Ohio, who had one of my trucks sitting in a rest stop with the driver arrested. So at 2am, I had to call one of my drivers who is sleeping at home north of Detroit, go pick him up and go get the truck.

I won't post much about the details why the driver was arrested other than he was pulled over and he argued about being pulled over in the first place. He called the cop stupid, told the cop that he didn't do anything wrong and was in hurry, blah blah blah.

The cop got pissed off after 15 minutes of hearing my idiot driver going off in him, he just pulled him over because the trailer lights were blinking and there was an obvious problem that may be fixed quickly by cleaning the plug - that's what we did. He said to me that he wasn't going to issue a ticket, he knows the driver can't see the back of the trailer so he wanted to tell the driver what was going on,

The cop was patient and told the driver to let him speak, which the driver refused to do so the cop called for backup, was put in cuffs and then arrested for a few things that I won't mention.

I keep telling my drivers just don't argue with anyone when you get pulled over, I will back them and most of the time pay for the legal costs to get rid of the ticket if it isn't warranted. Speeding is an exception. But in this case this driver, he is still sitting in jail waiting for a hearing to set bail, and I won't go there to bail him out, and he knows it.

I just talked to his wife, she called me asking what happened, she said he can stay there, she isn't going to go get him.
