[QUOTE="Well-Known Member, post: 4915530, member: 85066"] You really want to do this? OK, let's go. Spent 10 years delivering 500 and picking up 600. I wouldn't say it was a piece of cake, but kept me in shape. I could do 170 blindfolded. Mileage job. 3070 mi/wk. Does that make you a man? High hooking here n there? How many times is here n there? Most people learn the first time, I guess you're too busy burning up routes to worry about doing it by the methods. To hell with safety and the methods. Run hard and burn up every route. Cussed out the Sup and you wondered why they fired you for stealing, and wouldn't cut you some slack? So, after pissing off the Company, you now piss of the Union? You're brilliant. Ya think? So it now comes out. You knew you could be getting that last load, that sort down load, and that it was tight. But you said it took you 2.5 hours of CS to realize that you DID get that last load, that load that the other driver told you that you could get. You lost track of time for 2.5 hours? I call BS and so did the Company. Again, you think it is OK to steal just ONE time. Again, there is more to the story. You normally hammer, but this time you deliberately slowed down, even when you knew it was tight and that you may not make it even if you hammered. You slowed down, took a meal on the way back, trailers missed the sort and you wonder why you got fired? So, you do know the methods and do know what you should have done. But you elected not to follow the methods or your schedule, and then wondered why you got fired? Lost track of time for 2.5 hours? I call BS. You knew exactly what you were doing. Wait a minute. You said you lost track of time as to why you did not meal. Now you're saying that a buddy told you that you need to be on duty while your trailer is loaded. You never had any intention of taking a meal. You even quoted, I mean incorrectly quoted, FMCSA Regulations thinking that you are to remain on the clock while being loaded. You told the Company you lost track of time as to why you did not meal. You should have also been fired for dishonesty. You lied to the Company. You had every intention of staying on the clock the whole time, and taking your meal on the way back. Again, you never had any intention of taking your meal, yet you told the Company that you did not take a meal because you lost track of time. Dishonesty is a Cardinal sin, immediate discharge. Yep. You hammer all the time, except this time, when it is tight getting the trailers to make the sort. This time you slow down and don't hammer and wonder why the Company wanted to get rid of you. You cussed out a Sup, cussed out the Union, drove like a maniac, stole from your employer, lied to your employer, had trailers miss the sort, high hooked on several occasions and now wonder why you supposedly got fked? Now you're blaming the schedule? You tried to blame your buddy for telling you that you get paid while being loaded. That didn't work so you try something else. Waiting 2.5 hours for them to finish the trailer and not taking your meal during that time, a meal that is scheduled to be taken on that leg? And then taking a meal on the way back missing the sort. And you wonder why you got fired. It's hard to protect a thief, it's hard to get a thief their job back. I still have a job....Do you? [/QUOTE]
