For all.....He returned to work last night. All he'll say is he was wrongly accused but has been exonerated of any wrong doing and was paid for the 2 nights he had off. I think he is owed a public apology by the company for the embarassment he had to go through by being escorted off the property. I'm glad to see he is back.

I suppose if this happened to you, you would not be so quick to dismiss it.
We still don't know what happened and if he was framed by mistake.

"keep opinions to yourself" now that is sad right there. But I am glad your driver got his job back. T Elvis out....
If FedEx is finding people guilty till proven innocent, we need to talk about it. This driver has been kept nameless as far as I can see.

YES, If I was WRONGFULLY accused and escorted out... Yeah, I'd like the world to know.
As mentioned previously, no one knows WHO or what for...So I see no harm in this thread.
Those that do seem to know would have known with or without this thread...
It does show that it's NOT that easy for them to fire you, If the facts are on your side. It's also good for fellow drivers to know that.

So it looks like what we've learned here is that something happened and then something else happened which resulted in a thread about a possible happening and some fiery debate over the right to discuss potential happenings now and in the future...
Excellent work everyone, now lets get back to the business of peeling potatoes.
Excellent work everyone, now lets get back to the business of peeling potatoes.
It just so happens that I was thinking that if this really happened, then it would be a great travesty. But this kind of thing happens all of the time and usually happens when we least expect it to happen. That's why when it happens we must be ever vigilant to the things that happen right afterwords. Because if it happens, it means we were not preparing ourselves for the potential of it happening. By the way, what happened?
I'm in total agreement. Solid work here. It's one thing to start a rumor, it's another entirely to do it without any kind of detail whatsoever.
Peace
Ok, can I do this and not get in trouble.
Suppose you had a terminal that was losing most of its drivers due to a change of operations. Suppose a shuttle driver was driving a spare tractor to the hub. Now when he got there, he went up and did the cross dock handtrucker thing. Now suppose that while he was on the way to the hub that some son of a ---------- called the company and reported that the driver was observed stopping enroute and purchasing liquor. So while the shuttle driver is doing his cross dock hand trucker thing, a red shirt goes out and checks the tractor and finds a bottle. The shuttle driver finishes his cross dock hand trucker thing and drives back to his home terminal and is walked out the gate.
If this isn't all time chickenshit I don't know what is.
If any part of this hypothetical story is incorrect, would someone that was there please fix it.

I would say, hypothetically, that every red shirt who knew about this at the hypothetical hub should be fired for allowing the hypothetical driver to drive back to his hypothetical center when they suspected that he might be drinking and driving. He should have been tested at the time. If any of this hypothetical situation is true, there are hypothetical supervisors who are in hypothetical deep :
: right now. Hypothetically speaking, that is.Peace

Gee, maybe that is way he is back at work, with two days pay. Anyway, got a call last night, and 2 more guys from the same terminal were let go for fireable offenses. Must be something in the water up there. One was about a 20+ year employee. Weird stuff going on up there!:TR10driving03:
:Flame-On:You're right. I guess instead of reserving judgement till the FACTS were in, we (his friends and longtime coworkers) should have instantly believed the rumors and innuendos that were being whispered in his absence. Then, to further bolster our low self esteem we should've gone on the internet and spread the stories and named names. Thank God many of my coworkers still have integrity.
I hope they were smart enough to call the police and try to get some fingerprints off the bottle. Yeah, I'm sure.
And I agree. The red shirt at the original SC who found it should be fired for letting him leave the yard with alcohol in the tractor. I'm glad they didn't call the police after he left as that would have made things 1000 times worse.
I think that anyone who knew about it and allowed him to drive should be fired. If they find the douche that planted it, he should be fired and forced to apologize to this driver. Won't happen though.
But this is they way things are. Guilty until proven innocent.
If it were done to me, I would be screaming from the rooftops and engaging a lawyer. This is willful negligence on the part of the company. I'm betting this driver has a good idea who did it.
Glad he's back to work and was compensated. Not enough for the embrassement of being escorted off the property though. That's why I'd get a lawyer.
Effin idiots that are in charge. Hey big wigs! This is who you have minding the
store! Do something!!
