Recently I had a conversation with a newer driver, he had been given a dispatch that he could`nt do as he was tired and didn`t have enough hrs available, Accepting the load was his mistake and my suggestion to him was to contact his safety dept and see if the load could be reassigned, failing that talk to dispatch and have the appt changed to something more realistic Then if that failed refuse the dispatch. His reply was he would be fired.
Maybe he would be fired but he would be alive. What advice would you give a newer driver in a similar situation?
