My opinion of Wareen Buffett just went down 100%....good Lord...hes the biggest liberal around spousing how things should be more fair for the common man., and I have never, as a driver, been treated more like a piece of crap as on a Mclain Dock

Like Twilight Flyer said, perhaps it wasn't worth their while to pursue it. After all, their attorneys don't work for free. But if he digs too deep, and starts throwing charges against them, they may retaliate.


Fillimg with an US agency, his rentition of the story, protects him, not hurts him, and the US government would view it as retribution if McClain came after him for filling.
Apparently, you have never heard of a countersuit. :roll:

Hmmm not clear or sure what you hope to accomplish here? Dac will only add your comments in, never change theirs but I could be wrong there. Just know that some how beyond my limited legal understanding, they have managed to surcomvent slander laws, and are an almost untouchable entity.

Also how do I go about clearing my"name" in the business??

Hmmm just do your best to tell your side of the story, and within reason portray yourself favorably and perhaps some miss-understanding? I know for sure DONT speak bad of your former to a possible new employer or client. I know when I was in management we really looked down on that; was the general consensus.
When I speak informaly of my Ex's concerning this I dogem out and trash them, but never when doing business.

If you REALLY believe that I have a bridge too sell ya...cheap; cuz the fact is any chance they have to punish someone out of step they WILL. As I insisted, they only drop it when they dont have a case.You best bet your bottom dollar ANY chance these companies get to F you they WILL! ESPECIALLY someone they think wronged them they already WILL prosecute to their fullest avenues.

Apparently you never heard of Uncle Sam and trying to fight City Hall.but at this point its obviously his decision and the best way to move-on, and best to get legal advice from professionals.

I dunno, if I am being attacked I just always go on the offensive myself so try to advise someone that way. Just a philosphy of mine I quess. It was Napolean who stated, ;THe logical recourse of a defense is surrender." but different strokes for different people I quess.

There is a tinfoil hat in your future, and your concept of how a business operates is laughable.

Let's say, for example, that the O.P. was fired for embezelling $5000. According to you, the company would take that $200 an hour lawyer they have on call to go after him. After 25 hours, the lawyers' fees would outweigh the original loss.

But as you said:

Even if it costs them more to do so than they could ever recover. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:


But let's run another scenario, shall we?

The O.P. decides to take your advice, and files a wrongful termination suit against the company. Now, the company has to call that $200 an hour lawyer to defend them. To offset some of the cost of defending themselves, they decide to countersue for the original $5000 that they WOULD have let slide, because now it is in their interest to do so (since the lawyer is going to be going over their documents anyway).

Which sounds more plausible? I say the latter.

just cuz they haven't filed a suit against this driver doesn't mean they don't have one!they may just not want the hassles of a court case. I would check my dac and if it's clean I'd let it go. Your ex knows the law and as a paying customer dac will advise what not to say. If anything your dac says " will not rehire" that's no big deal, I just found out I have that on mine from an ex about 4 years ago and just was asked about it.
We had a local driver that was short paying invoice's for quite awhile and when it finally caught up with him,he was just let him go and had to pay back a couple hundred. A couple of weeks later I was called to check his employment all I could say was yes he did work here and no we would not rehire him. Now he's driving for a competitor

but than this is just my opinion and we know what that's worth :lol:

They'd spend a 100,000 if they though they could hang someone as an example. It isn't always about the money.

Man, maybe the lesson here is, don't tell ppl on here what happened. every pseudo lawyer and over assumer has an opinion and more then happy to share it with you. :roll:

It ISNT a suit he has to worry about, criminal charges is what I ws discussing, and they havent filed them cuz no DA apparently will take them serious and saying its a civil matter; or else they WOULD have pressed charges already!
