I wonder how many are smoking weed on the job?

Yep

 

[Two Tokes]

It’s medicine

For my Torrets

 

[Two Tokes]

So is morphine, but you don't drive under its influence.

Why

 

[browndevil]

Not true, had a guy come in drunk and got his job back. He was a driver and is still working to this day.

We have a program in our Joint Council called T.A.P.,Teamsters Assistant Program. It has helped quite a few of our hourlies and their family members. Those that have been successful have gotten their lives back on track

If his wife wasn't divorcing him then none of this would have happened.

She won't be getting much alimony now.

 

[Staydryitsraining]

He's toast. There is absolutely no way the company would risk the negative press.

Very true, the company cares about share holders and press.

 

[Staydryitsraining]

Because, depending upon the circumstances, a mutual fight is not necessarily a cardinal offense under the contract.
DUII at 3x the legal limit while on duty is a cardinal offense. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
He is gone. I hope this is the bottom he needs to hit in order to get help and recover.

He should totally loose his job no question about it.

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

No sympathy.
If anything he should be thankful he got caught before he killed somebody.
You gotta have your head really far up your ass to drive for a living and show up to work drunk.

He was drinking and driving.
He didn't show up drunk.

Reading is Fundamental

We had a sleeper team feeder driver that got fired for this same thing last year. He got pulled over not too far out of town. Turns out he was already drunk and they found his whiskey bottle.

Seemed like a real head scratcher to us, but all addiction is. It’s a disease. And only the lucky seem to survive it.

Alcohol is a mother . I would rarely drink on work nights cause I can’t ever have just a few. If I had the next day off you bet your ass I was getting hammered drunk.

If reporting for work with a massive hang over was against the rules I would have been fired so many times.
If reporting for work after a hard night of drinking and 3 or 4 hours sleep was against the rules I would have been fired the 1st week I worked.

Roll Damn Tide

I thought Upstate, I mean Dave had retired

I don't think drinking one delicious Coors Light with dinner was a problem.

I've seen drivers get popped for that, on a reasonable cause test.

Yet they can work you 12 to 14 hour days. You can be so tired you might as well be under the influence but that's OK.

She won't be getting much alimony now.

Alimony might be based on the level of comfort she has been acclimated to over the years, not the current ability of the man to pay such alimony.

Was just trying to be funny.

The only problem with that is that it's not Coors banquet
