[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5507118, member: 70932"] I told you they would go back 30 days. Apparently, they only needed to go back 10 to prove that this is normal for you to do. There are 2 separate issues here. First, delivery records do not fall under Article 6 Section 6 of the Master dealing with Technology. Article 6 Section 6 No driver shall be discharged based solely upon information received from [B]GPS, telematics, or any successor system that similarly tracks or surveils a driver’s movements.[/B] They terminated you for dishonesty based on falsifying delivery records. Even if someone can claim that the DIAD does fall under Article 6 Section 6, there is another clause in the Article for issues like this. Article 6 Section 6 [B]unless he/she engages in dishonesty (defined for the purposes of this paragraph as any intentional act or omission by an employee where he/she intends to defraud the Company.[/B] Did you engage in dishonesty to defraud the Company? They would say yes. You were padding your stops to increase your paid day to make more money or to cover up the fact that you would be 3 hours over if you didn't pad your stops. OK. If you delivered each separate suite and got separate signatures, there is no problem here. You did not pad your stops. That is following the methods. Go to the panel and fight for your job. But, if you sheeted each suite separately as an individual stop, and then only got one signature, or had the same person sign for each separate stop, well, that is padding stops. Go to the panel and beg for your job. If you consistently deliver 123 Devon St, or whatever address, and get 2 stops out of 1, well that could be an issue. We all do it sometimes. Find the second box at the end of the day and deliver it without hitting duplicate. That is then 2 stops on the DIAD for 1 address. If it happens occasionally, no big deal. But, it looks like you do it consistently. Did you go to the 4 different suites and obtain 4 different signatures? Or did you get 1 signature for all 4 stops? If the Company did not have the delivery records to back them up, you would have got your job back already. You should still go to the panel .Depending on what the delivery records show is how you, or your BA, is going to approach this. If you followed the methods or did this by accident, due to a flawed DIAD or lack of training, your approach will be one of modesty and respect for the panel, but that what you did was not on purpose and you are sorry and it will never happen again. If you did this on purpose knowing that getting 1 signature for 4 stops is not how you were trained, your approach will be one of modesty and respect for the panel, but what you did was stupid, should never have happened, and that you will guarantee that it will never happen again. There is also another option that could happen if you choose to go to the panel instead of resign. They could offer you a deal for your job back, without backpay, just before the panel. They get their way. You end up with a 3 or 4 week suspension, and the Company proves their point. I mean, the whole purpose of discipline is to change behavior. Even if you have done this before, since the last 10 days may prove it, this is the first time the Company has brought it to your attention. I do not suggest you bring this approach up at the panel if you end up going, but a 3 week suspension should get you to change your habits and follow the methods. [B][/B] [/QUOTE]
