    Perhaps, but not at R&L. I am familiar with them and they are a large company. Their safety dep't is easy to talk to but they do not tolerate lawbreakers, and they will back a driver the situation you had.

    I knew a guy who worked at R&L for a few months. They wanted him to have a pallet jack, and two wheeler, which they said he was required to have, but expected the driver to buy.

    Also,since it was near winter in Northern Indiana, they wanted everyone to have matching "R&L" winter jackets. Again, at the drivers expense.
