Quit under dispatch, what is the actual definition?

It All depends on the Companies definition of the "quit under dispatch". The load could of been under a time deadline, and needed to be down the road the 8 or 10 hours you were sleeping.

Sounds a bit fishy did you have any other disciplinary actions from this company before this?
A company wouldnt dump you that fast unless your 3 days old under probation period. Or have had some other dings in your file, making this one the last straw.

good luck.

 

Did you pick the load up first,like you said you would.
Then bring it back to the yard.

Or did you blow the load off,in a fit of anger
And drive back to the yard empty and leave.

You'll learn how to make a peaceful exit
From these companies.
We all do eventually.

 

You can dispute it through DAC but in reality probably not much you can do. There is no specific definition for Quit under dispatch, it's however thy interpret it that counts.

 

Make a formal complaint to Hire Right, the owners of the DAC Report, contesting your reason for termination . They will require that the carrier back up what they put on the DAC report. If it is accurate...it stays on the report, if it was a dispatcher being petty, they take it off in fear of another law suit.

I would tell hirerigt to make em prove it aight.

You were told to bring the truck back and park it.

That's either being issued a new truck or being fired. One of the two. You did not get a new truck so you were fired.

The previous talk about the pending load to be picked up was discarded the moment the dispatcher changed his mind and ordered you to bring truck back to yard. That abolishes whatever plans you two had with that load.

You did not explain the situation or converstation that lead to you being fired after you parked the truck. Did they simply tell you to gather your #### and GTFO our property?

Airline transport pilots never have to deal with this moment by moment at will employment. They are never told to get their stuff and get out of the airplane leaving 400 souls waiting to get a replacement pilot.

 

They’re trying to make it sound like: Abandoning a Load.
That is bad. This isn’t that. Or they would have said so.
I would contest it.

 

I would contest it and not back down one inch. I understand some drivers reluctance, but I'm in a fortunate position and place in my life where I don't have to put up with that crap. I would also like to think I'm smart enough to make things pretty miserable for them.
