We were told in our meeting it was a team comprised of our members of America's Road Team and other top FXF drivers. I guess we're supposed to feel better about it because of this?
We had our number 2 road driver get a seat belt ticket last weekend. Then Tuesday at the road drivers meeting he found out he had 19 points on his score card. He called the safety guy and was told unless he can get the ticket completely removed he is disqualified. So it looks like he became disqualified last night. His court date isn't until the middle of july. My question is......if he gets the ticket thrown out does he get reinstated? Can he work the dock while being disqualified and after getting the ticket thrown out come back to his original seniority spot?

Sr Mgr said that after XX points, you are disqualified for 3yrs,and have to go through the entire driver training process again.
Basically, they force you to quit.

Not to totally disagree, but I believe the automatic tranny is supposedly to save fuel mileage, and wear and tear. At least that's how the manufacturer attempts to sell it. Now reality would seem to suggest otherwise.
Our manager told us you can get multiple points for on incident.Say your rear box drops off that's 10 pts annd it keeps moving and strikes another object you get more points.Did anyone else hear this.Not trying to argue, but where did you find 10 PTA for a seatbelt violation in you POV?
Isn't 10 pts for a serious violation like DUI/DWI/OWI, reckless, wet reckless and excessive speed?
Also, 10 pts is for a pintle hook disconnect as in losing your congear and back trailer. Dropping a trailer is 3 pts, at least that is what my scorecard indicated, along with a date and some three digit code.

We were told you can work the dock only if there is a opening.Can not create a new position.When you go back to driving you start at the bottom.
Was told today by SAFETY....that this point system was developed by some drivers back east...now don't quote me on this cause I have had a couple of beers!!!
ATA drivers.
