[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1325287, member: 42691"] 7 You should be fine. They gotta spank you. You know, to justify their jobs and pretend to take safety seriously. In my area, they are out of luck if they don't immediately come pull you off the rig after you call them. We've had a handful of drivers get saved by management's laziness. Sounds like that's what happened in your case. Hopefully your union reps push that angle full tilt. After all, if they fire you for being unsafe because of your accident, what reason do they have for waiting until you get back to Atlanta? You are either unsafe or you're not, according to their logic. But if you guys don't have that as a past practice, you will have to take your punishment. Probably a few weeks off. Not to beat up on you, but keep that bubble around you at all times. Assume these cars don't see you, have no respect for the size, weight and stomping ability of your rig. Because people are stupid and as you see, you're the one who gets to pay for a 50/50 blame scruff. You just can't get away with mistakes in feeders. [/QUOTE]
