Who NOT to cut off....

This is true, just happened to me today!!! I always have the weirdest luck but this, by far, is the worst. Got a call to come into a meeting with my safety guy. I'm thinking it's a random UA, no problem, right? Wrong! He tells me they got a complaint that I made a lane change and cut someone off. Sorry, I had no idea and I didn't cause an accident so no harm done, right? Well if you are gonna cut someone off make sure it's not John H. who just happens to be the Admninstrator (head guy appointed by Pres. Bush, himself) of the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration!!!! This is exactly what happened to me. Of the millions of people on the road, I had to piss off the main guy himself. Needless to say, he called, i was fired and now i'm on a 2 day bus ride back to Texas. Now, everyone out there knows companies get calls everyday about thier drivers and they don't get fired over it. Does anyone see the injustice in what has happened? I am still in shock and will now have to explain to my son why I can't buy him the bike I promised him the next time I made it back home. Sorry Mr. H...did not realize you were so perfect and never make mistakes.

 

(This is written by Falcon7's wife. Keep reading and you will find out why)After he was fired his company kindly gave him a ride to the bus station with his things in a box and a ticket back home. This was at noon and the bus didn't leave until 9pm so around 6pm he gets hungry and decides to walk down the street to grab something to eat. On the way back he was robbed at gunpoint by 3 guys. They took it all! Money, bank card, cell phone and of course his bus ticket. Since his bank is only branched in Texas they tell him he has to come in to correct all the money taken from the account, (which was everything). So long story short... he spent last night in a homeless shelter in Minneapolis. Today he is trying to find some day labor to make a little bit to buy a new bus ticket and on my end I am trying to be creative as to how to come up with the money. It's funny how one minor mistake can lead to such devestating chain of events.

Any one out there headed south from MN? My husband could sure use a ride. Just a thought out of desperation.
