I don’t know what frag means. But frak is a common substitute for another four letter word that starts with the letter f.

When an officer, after repeated pleading by his men to stop doing stupid things that gets them killed continues, then someone with the proper skill & guts rolls a fragmentation grenade under his bunk killing him and saving the lives of their fellow soldiers. Very rare in the Marines to frag a officer. More common in the Army. A lot of stories on the net. Google fragging in Vietnam. It might surprise you what they did back then. West Point officers with no combat experience in charge of seasoned troops failed to adapt, came home in a black bag and purple heart. Not a good image or story, but it did happen.

Your attitude is ridiculous. Drivers aren’t done a dozen any more.

I agree with the last sentence in this post, but you need to understand that when it comes to cell phones, moving violations, and nearly anything else related to jurisdiction and enforcement, the law not only forbids a driver from operating a hand held device while driving, the law also forbids an employer from allowing it to happen. In other words, the cell phone thing is bigger than just company policy.

The big difference is Xpo decided for the savings on insurance cost they would have inward facing cameras directed at their drivers. Other companies choose not to direct the camera at the drivers . It’s one thing to get caught by law enforcement in violation by chance and it’s another to have your own company direct a camera at you where the obligated by legal liability to do something when they see it.
That being said it was Xpo’s decision to keep the cameras trained on their drivers instead of just outward facing cameras like other carriers. No one forced Xpo in that decision. They decided the savings in discounts was more important than anything. Even if it lead to driver termination.

Our location is still frozen by the status quo as to where coaching is still the outcome of violating. We did have one driver that was eventually terminated due to excessive violations caught by the camera. The company went to the Union and ask for them to get involved and speak to the drivers on two occasions. The Union expressed to the driver the seriousness of his actions and that if he did not comply and improve they would allow the termination to move forward. The drivers behavior got worse so the Union and the company decided termination was the best outcome to prevent any possible danger to himself or others. The Union could not condone or further defend the behavior of this particular driver after their involvement in trying to correct his behavior.

So what you are saying is the union tried to help the guy out, through counseling him, and if he was in a non barn he would have been fired right then. BUT when he didn't change his ways the union said enough and let the company take action to protect the company, employees, and the general public from his unsafe behavior. But but I thought all the union does is protect the slackers?
