    HI on november 2021 i was driving for WERNER , 9pm and a pick up truck cut me off and starts slow me down from 60mph to about 15mph , second time i called 911 while on the phone the pick up driver point me with a gun , all this with no reason at all , i was on the right hand cruising at 60mph all the time , after the gun he try to pass me on the right shoulder , the shoulder got narrow and he touch my truck leaving some tires marks, nothing major , police arrived and after a few i was free to go , WERNER blame this on me just because i didn't take an exit to avoid , i call safety and i explained there was no exit at the moment, after going back and forward i quit on December 22, they call me on December 27 to fired me , and they put this was my fault on driver IQ, now not able to find a job no where bc this report , im not the first person i called department of labor and we will need a few more drivers that experience this for them to investigate and probably sue them

    Trucking can be very dangerous. I would pursue a different career.

    Well, assuming this isn't going to be a troll one-and-done, the only thing pulling off at an exit would have done is make you a stationary target for a man with a gun.

    If you think that you were unfairly terminated, then you should consult an attorney

    In my experience, safety departments are a joke. They don't care about your safety at all. They are a puppet controlled by insurance companies who will give the company insurance discounts for the dumbest reasons.

    As much as I want to avoid them, in this case your best bet is following this advice.

    You have a police report and your attorney can subpoena the dashcam footage. Your life was being threatened and you were discharged for not taking an exit as a preemptive measure to avoid further problems. Your case alone stands on its own merit. Good luck

    November of 2021? Man time has lapsed. What exactly did they put on your record?
