[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1405045, member: 14668"] I am on vacation and do not have my copy of the contract in front of me so I cannot quote it verbatim, but it is either art 26 or 27 of the Western Supplement under suspensions and discharges. One of the listed cardinal offenses is [B]provable[/B] dishonesty and uncorroborated Telematics data is not [B]proof[/B]. I am not doubting the intent of the driver in your case, but in the similar case we had in our building it wasn't the Telematics data that got him fired; it was the fact that he got scared and changed his story under questioning which in and of itself is de facto proof of dishonesty. Had our driver simply kept his mouth shut and denied any knowledge of what he was being accused of, the company would not have had the proof they needed to uphold his termination. Telematics data is not infallible. I was once brought into the office and questioned over my decision to back 95 yards at 20MPH in a customers parking lot. I was able to clearly show on a satellite photo that backing 95 yards at that location would have caused me to drive clear through the back wall of the customers warehouse and down into the creek behind it, which of course did not happen. The data was simply wrong. [/QUOTE]
