[QUOTE="soberups, post: 380702, member: 14668"] If for any reason I need to drive a significant distance off of my delivery area, I inform my management first. There is nothing in the contract that states that driving off of one's delivery area is a terminable offense. The people who have been fired for this sort of thing were fired for dishonesty. They were off their area and when confronted they lied about it. Had they been honest, they would still have jobs. Dishonesty is a terminable offense and is not subject to progressive discipline. Informing your management of where you are going and why is not dishonesty. We have drivers who have been given permission to drive off area for doctor appointments or other issues that would otherwise have required a day off. Management is usually more than happy to let the guy drive the truck a few miles on his lunch hour for an appointment if it makes the difference between him coming in or calling in sick. [/QUOTE]
