[QUOTE="Rented Ammo, post: 4683609, member: 31699"] I'm in Feeders and I was traveling on an exit ramp about 20mph when I suddenly fell asleep and the truck rolled into a ditch and collided with some trees and bushes. The truck isn't totaled just a few dents. The cop on scene gave me a Careless Driving Tickets (2 Points) and I was taken to get a drug test by management right away. Upon getting the drug test taken we get back to the building and management (with a shop steward present) notifies me that I will be Out of Service upon the drug test results and accident investigation. I've been in Feeders for about 4 years and have never had a problem like this before with falling asleep at the wheel. I've recently been woken up by the family dog on numerous occasions and a screaming baby both of which I mentioned to management. I also share a tractor with another driver who smoke cigars constantly and the truck just smells terrible and is hard to see and breathe sometimes but management doesn't seem to care about that. However, when I've refused to use that tractor my job gets threatened but when other drivers refuse it they get to use another tractor. I should've got a doctors note I guess. My question is how long do you think ill be out of service? Has anyone here been in this situation before or know another driver who has? Can I file for unemployment? I'm not technically fired so idk if I can or not. A couple drivers told me to tell them I turned the wheel to not hit a deer but at that speed I have a hard time believing that they would've believed that. So, I told them the truth. It just sucks. Any help would be apricated. [/QUOTE]
