    I tried to get some info as to what type of investigation they would do. I told the head of safety that I don't drink and I never have, and asked if he needed some names, etc. of references from my home town. I could tell by the way he was acting, the investigation was already done. I am not sure what my team partner could have said, or if it even mattered. The company could not prove whose wine it was, but knew that it was on the truck that I also drove.
    I have my DAC. It only says terminated, satisfactory work record and would not re-hire. I have talked to human resources at USXpress and the person in Chatanooga, who officially after an investigation (so I am told), terminated me. I tried to talk to safety in Oklahoma City ( where I got off the truck) and was told the head person (who I had called and told about the wine) no longer works for USXpress. So the matter is done.
    I was an at will employee, in June I had a very competent attorney look at the facts, wrongful termination does not apply. I worked under an at will contract. They had the right and so did I to quit or be terminated for any reason.
    I actually found a company, Knight in Indianapolis,who believed me about my involvement and went to orientation last Monday. I failed the driving test, due to shifting and backing. I thought I did okay shifting, just needed to get a little more practice, since I had not shifted since last Nov. because USXpress has automatics, but I totally agree about my poor backing with one owner standing besides his truck and watching! I would recomend Knight to any male drivers. I was impressed with their operations.

    maybe they wanted to get rid of you for another reason and just used this as an excuse
