    15 over is a serious offense.

    anything over 15 mph is considered a MAJOR violation, all I will say is good luck finding a driving job with that on your record.

    Yea I knew it wasn't good, I should have fought it but hindsight is 20/20. But you never know figured i would at least fill out some apps and see what happens. I kinda figured I didn't stand a chance at TMC or anyone pretty respectable. I am kinda hopeing some of the "other" companies aren't as bad.

    Unfortunately I don't think this is a simple treating drivers like crap. I smell acquisition. I worked in corp America before, it has all the signs of one.

    I was told backbefore Xmas by co-workers at TMC who are in good with some high up people in training that these driver cuts were coming. 100 was the number i head, the drivers who had high OOR, poor fuel mileage, late PU & del, etc. I took a medical leave of absence, you guys gotme wondering if I'll have a job when the doc gives me a clean bill of health.:biggrin_25511:

    Look at the economy man..ITS COMING..6,000 PEOPLE LOST THERE JOBS WITH INTEL TODAY...Layoffs everyday.we are heading for real trouble man.

    Obama even said to the americian people to mentally prepare yourself for the worst is yet to come.....wake up

    Its going to hit trucking and everywhere else very hard and people are gonna say....what is going on? and we say..hey we tryed to warn you....

    Make no mistake about it,this is very very bad...and its gonna get worse.

    I am an owner and they are running loads for 80 cents a mile man...its crazy....there is no money in trucking anymore.

    I dont wanna be mean but wake up and prepare for the hell coming down the pike.....

    AMERICA IS BANKRUPT!!!!!!!!!!!!THEY STOLE ALL THE MONEY....NONE LEFT....LOL,LOL
