This. Literally get paid by the hour. Stop running lights.

Also depends if the person hit claims injuries that have to be treated?
Usually it's a working termination unless it's really bad.
I'm a new driver. I got my seniority date last week. Today, I was going through a yellow light and the car in front of me slammed on their brakes and I hit them. He wasn't injured but his car is smashed pretty bad. I didn't even know I had gotten my seniority date until I got back and one of the supervisors told me I had finished my 30 days, last week. Anyway, they told me to come in tomorrow in my browns and be ready to drive. But they also told me they're trying to figure out what tier wreck it was. Is there a chance I won't be driving anymore?
Yes. you are technically fired but still working until your grievance meetingWorking termination?
In my building, a tier 3 is an automatic firing. There is also a grievance immediately fired. In my building, I would expect that you would be off 1-5 days. If you work tomorrow, you will have a read from either a supe or the center manager. How well you do on the ride may determine your future.
Sounds like a weak local. I would hope they fight for back pay.
If it was a very serious accident where the driver was extremely reckless I can understand. But a tier 3 could be a minor accident in a intersection.
So, I was terminated. They're filing a grievance. How long will it be before i get to go back?
Nothing to do with a weak local.
It is contractual language in the Master, and the Company uses it all the time and in all locals.
Yes I understand that. That's why I said a serious accident. Again the term Tier 3 is the company's term. I can have a small little fender bender in a intersection and it's a Tier 3.
When he said you're fired for a Tier 3 automatically that is not right and if true then it's a weak local.
And being a rookie doesn't helpI don't care about their Tier classification either, and I did not reference the supposed Tier 3.
The OP stated the car was pretty messed up, so I assumed it was towed.
According to the Contract, this is classified as a serious accident where the driver is presumed to be at fault, and the Union agreed to this.
The Company can take you out of service, without pay, and no chance of backpay, unless it was determined to not be your fault, for up to 30 days.
File for unemployment tomorrowWorking termination?

Read the freaking post next timeOk well I responding to barnyard not OP and when you quoted me I misunderstood.
Keep that to yourself

Had a female air driver break the rules twice in one week. Saw a woman fall off of her bike and put her & the bike into her P 300 and drive her home ( outside of our area ) and then the next day rear end a car, extremely little damage. She was banned from driving again and given my inside job, while I was forced to do her driving { my pay rate was not changed, my inside rate was higher } It was a work as directed thing. She always played the poor single woman with a growing child routine.
Why could it be never?

I can have a small little fender bender in a intersection and it's a Tier 3 or hit someone in the rear.
