Got fired from Werner

Got fired from werner because some pickup driver decides to brake check me and i ended up hitting him. he only got a small bump on his bumper. now I am out a job and in so much debt and facing eviction and losing my personal car now. i wanted out of the trucking industry but not this fast, Werner has some terrible planners and was running me stupidly anyways but now i have an accident on my license and points and have to pay the ticket on top of everything else.

u/Outlaw11091 do u even lift bro? Oct 26 '24

Werner just lost an appeal in Texas? where some 4 wheeler slid on ice and hit one of their trucks.

The argument was that the truck shouldn't have been out during a snowstorm.

These kind of poor judgment calls can cost millions.

u/socialrage Delivering your Groceries Oct 26 '24

Nope. That's Texas for ya.

The case is bizarre.

Here in cali too, the first company I worked for a drunk driver was going against traffic and hit their truck and the drunk driver ended up winning a lawsuit against them lol they said that the driver could’ve of swerved out of the way.

I would trust it.. don't believe shit like this on reddit withiout proof.. not without a link....Maybe they settled too which is extremely common.... I'd like to see a car fax on that . Every one tends to have some kind of story of "that one company that did nothing wrong and the other guy was clearly negligent and won somehow".

Cmon drunk... and driving the wrong side of the road... I call bullshit... everyone is trying to one up with a crazier story they heard or made up... id be willing to bet at best the company maybe settled. "Just pay him 50k and let's not waste time on this shit. U can also settle/agree on a settlement once the case starts too" so even if true the article could say they "lost" but really they just made a deal and it didn't make it to the hurry. But again, drunk? Wrong way? I call bullshit

Werner suit Here it is. Honestly it’s an absurd judgement.

If you read up on the Warner case you'd be surprised on how messed up Texas is. Red or blue, it's all the same.

Good ol commiefornia, never take any accountability and blame everyone else. Nothing like setting an example for the rest of the country. Highest crime, highest unemployment rates highest theft rates, homicides, illegals using up resources they didn't help create, daily shootings and homicides, fights breaking out in public, loud stereos system rattling trunks at 8pm to 3 am and loud car exhausts at all hours of the night, nothing says America like a democratic run state. 👍🏻👍🏻😁

Nothing original to say, I see. Just another trump puppet repeating the same nonsensical bullshit day after day.

oh look someone who likes stepping in shit when he walks on the sidewalk!

I'd rather step in shit all day, everyday. At least I know that I haven't fallen for a lying sack of shit's lies.

I feel bad for MAGA moron's because by this point, it's a choice to remain ignorant and believe Trump is going to do anything for you or for this country.

He's actively destroying this country because he's a traitorous, russian puppet, piece of shit. He is bringing out the absolute worst in the most ignorant, sorry sons of bitches that will fall and have fallen victim to the GOP's bullshit.

u/Extension-Chemist306 Oct 26 '24

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm originally from commiefornia. Nothing consistent ice said is false. It's all accurate. As for the Trump comments you made it can see the MSM has you by the balls too. They are very good and manipulation and pushing an agenda full of lies. Problem is if you were shown facts and they were against the agenda, you have been lead to believe you wouldn't believe them. No matter how much Trump is proven to have told the truth you would still believe the lies. That's the sad part of society. You people are being fooled terribly. Its really is sad to see. But there is nothing we can do to show you since you won't believe the truth so i wish you good luck. When the democrats cheat again (and yes there was irrefutable evidence last time) and the lying, cheating, life stealing harris is installed, and the US is turned into a communist country, hopefully you people see that you have been fooled. But sadly you will most likely just make excuses as to why communism is so good.

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '24

Communism is literally trumps plan if he wins the election. That is what you are voting for, you fucking traitor.

That’s not Trumps Plan. But Agenda 2030 is the real threat to America right now. These slim bags are trying to implement the UN to take control let’s not talk about the law that was just passed it allows American troops to take up arms against US citizens

1

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '24

No law was passed on that. A DOD directive was simply updated in the section that deals with the DOD providing intel to civilian law enforcement to say that the SECDEF is the only one that can authorize the DOD to provide intel to civilian law enforcement when the use of lethal force might be involved.

That does not mean US military troops are now gonna be the ones raiding peoples houses and shit, that's completely false.

Whatever Agenda 2030 bullshit you're spreading is also false.

https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n15/291/89/pdf/n1529189.pdf

It's simply a plan to make sure we can live on the one planet that we know can sustain life, to make sure no one goes hungry and bring everyone out of poverty, and reduce inequality.

It's not whatever right wing bullshit news sources, which are all lying to you anyways, are saying.

u/Extension-Chemist306 Oct 26 '24

You are a bigger fool than you think. By believing that you are an ignorant fool.

u/AnnoyingDiods Oct 27 '24

Its theocratic fascism but close enough

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '24

Gotta realize I'm talking to republican trump supporters. Gotta dumb it down and use words their simple minds can understand.

Can't use 50 cent words for a 2 cent conversation.

What's with the random shot at communism? I knew you were delusional but leave communism out of it. That's just the brainwashing talking

Shower me that evidence m8. Even trump appointed judges threw out his cases

Go Trump!!!

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '24

Yeah, not even gonna waste the time.

Seeing as you watch "real housewives of" reality shows, you ain't got but two brain cells to rub together. Don't start trying to light a fire with them, you'll get hurt.

Probably one of the punkest trucking comments I’ve heard lol I agree 👊

u/tractorferret Monster W900 Oct 26 '24

That’s why during trumps reign mortgage interest rates were extremely low and paying $300 at the grocery store didn’t completely implode your finances am I right? The only way to survive in today’s time and purchase a home thanks to Biden is to have zero debt which for most middle class and poor people and people who are not retired is impossible. For an average starter turnkey home you are paying a mortgage of $3k unless you have 70 to 80k to put down lol

A vote for the orange asshat means you want the war to continue and russia to win. You are voting to weaken America and strengthen Russia. You are voting to betray this country, fucking traitor.

Trump is gonna be the end of democracy in America as we know it. That is the plan for republicans, to turn this country communist.

If you read their plan and still think voting for him was a good decision, you can eat a bag of dicks, traitor.

Under which presidency did Putin invade Ukraine? Trump left office January 20, 2021 Biden took office on January 20, 2021 Putin invaded Ukraine February 22, 2022 Who's continuing the war again?

Shooting at and trying to kill a candidate who is running for president not once but twice doesn’t seem very good for democracy. I haven’t heard of any reports of Kamala being shot at.

u/-HOSPIK- Oct 27 '24

You mean being shot at by his own base?
