[QUOTE="qdg2, post: 5422621, member: 100309"] To all: Long time ago.....I was DQ'd. I was assigned a put together route of some of this and some pickups. It was NOT a designated training route. We were required to be scratch or better for 5 straight days. Back then we had paper time cards and it was all entered by hand. I had 4 days under and was 5 clicks over on the 5th day. DQ'd. I was absolutely naive that fairness and no sort of agendas were in play. My MGR was on a mission to get rid of me. He did. But.....I also had a sharp and dedicated steward. He noted and carefully documented my situation. He knew what was coming. I must say, he gave up his free time on the phone and I even visited him at his home to strategy plan and such. I owe my career to him. I grieved my DQ. It was settled minutes before the panel hearing. The company agreed to let me re-qualify......and I did 22 days later....like it never happened. My new Div. Mgr. told me personally: "Welcome to blank. Forget all that has happened and let's get to work". That was 33 years ago. BTW, that new Div. Mgr. was legendary for being very hard core and old school. He was nothing but professional to me. MOF, we never had any sort of negative interaction. I believe it just depends on who is calling the shots. The new folks that I encountered after the initial DQ were world's different than before. I'm not going to call them pleasant......but they were much more professional and positive. I also believe it was sent from above to make sure I was given a fair chance. Note: I was moved to another center. To be fair, I was also seasoned(2nd attempt) and much more aware of how the system worked and all the "tricks" to run scratch. The first time, I knew nothing of how pkg driving worked. Nothing. All that said, yes you can be manipulated......to not qualify. I believe that if they don't want you to qualify...you won't. If true.....this is your golden ticket...... [/QUOTE]
