[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5523109, member: 70932"] Any witnesses? Sound like the Company didn't believe the driver. I wouldn't put it past anyone to stop, throw it in reverse, hit us and then claim that we rear ended them. But if this driver already had one within 9 months, maybe the Company just thought it was an excuse. Hit other in rear is a Tier 3 Should be progressive discipline. If he received a warning letter for the first one, the second should be a suspension, not a termination. Did the Panel uphold the termination? Not if it happened the way you described. Although, I've heard many wild, made up stories, by drivers to blame someone else for an accident. I had to actually try and defend a driver who said he put the package car in drive but when he hit the gas, it went in reverse and hit a car behind him. There's usually more to the story if it seems fairly minor but a driver is discharged. Who's story do we believe? [/QUOTE]
