As far as I know, no man in the history of the 54& terminal has ever been given a letter for running out of fuel. I believe this terminal opened in the fifties and I've talked to men whose been here for over 30 years and not one of them know of any driver that was given a letter for running out of fuel. I personally know of men that have ran out off fuel and were never given letters. The man who receive the letter was returning from a 225 mile round trip and ran out of fuel less than 3 miles from the terminal. This is a man who has worked at 54& for more than 36 years on both the dock and as a city driver, he has also won the Million Mile Safe Driver Award, and this is the first time in over 36 years he has ever ran out of fuel while on the road. Why was he the first one to receive this letter, because he was the one who caught the TM sabotaging his own terminal. (TM was sending loads out that were suppose to be worked at 54&, but because TM was filling in for the evening shift supervisor and he didn't want to stay and work them.) TM sabotages his own terminal, company and men yet the one disciplined is the Teamster who caught him. TM lives for revenge, even when he's wrong. I will be disappointed in local 823 if they do not get this man's letter retracted. 823 has over 60 years of past practice to back them up.
