[QUOTE="scratch, post: 766610, member: 1674"] We had a driver get fired for working a second job on the clock. This was about 25 years ago, he was video taped cutting grass in front of a Motel 6 wearing his browns and our center manager caught him working the front desk. We had another driver got fired for taking a leak in somebody's driveway during Peak. He got his job back but lost it for good when he had two flat tires on a TP60. Instead of waiting for a mechanic or tire service to change them, he dragged the trailer 15 miles up I-75, a driver behind him said it looked like a fire works show when the tires finally flew off and he was on bare rims. He didn't want to be late for a bass tournament that Friday night. Yet another one that did something really stupid was fired for giving some stops and his DIAD to a rookie driver to finish his day. This driver usually milked the clock with both hands and ran over allowed by an hour or so. He was seen by a few supervisors back in the building at 5PM, which stood out like a sore thumb. The rookie driver ran the stops and clocked him out at 7:30. Mileage and GPS didn't add up....rookie driver later got fired for making special deliveries to a drug dealer in a certain home improvement store parking lot. We had a feeder driver get canned after a surprize drug test. As far as the Preload, a few got fired for theft. We have a large cell phone warehouse that we process, too much temptation there. A couple have been fired for having affair with other co-workers and fighting at work. A part time sup got fired for stealing over a 150 handguns a while back. We have had a few FT managers get fired for falsifying records. One 32 year supervisor got fired for saying something very vulgar to an OMS in front of a office full of witnesses. He had a reputation for hitting on women and she got tired of it, so she called the hotline. Another one got canned for threatening to shoot an ex-girlfriend/SPA girl half his age and leaving the message on her voice mail. These are just a few really dumb ones that stand out over the usual reasons. [/QUOTE]
