Back on June the 5th of this year. I got hurt getting out of the truck. I tore my left calf muscle. I called my dispatcher to inform her of me getting hurt. She filed the report. On Sunday June the 7th I was sitting at the terminal in West Memphis, Arkansas I told them I was in so much pain I had to go and get it checked out that is when I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure. They made me wait 2 days at home before returning home, because I had to ride with another driver. When I got home I had a phone call from Schneider and they were asking me questions to see if they find a way to get out of paying me workman's compensation. They even ask me if I was wearing the Schneider approved footwear. And I told them I always wear the approved footwear they provide during orientation.
I was off of work for over 3 months due to the injury. I was looking out for everyone that travels down each interstate or highway. I did not want to have a heart attack or stroke behind the wheel and kill someone. So as soon as I got released from the doctor's care. I called the employer and mentioned to them that my blood pressure would not stay regulated to drive, and that would not be able to return to work this was on the 24th of September. They called me today and said they were terminating my employment. I did not understand how they can say they were terminating my employment when I had already quit. That did not make any sense. If there is any truck drivers out there seeing this. Stay clear of this company they will do you wrong.
I was warned by friends they would try to terminate me after I got released from the doctor. And now they want to tarnish my record because they had to pay me while I was off hurt. There is medical documentation to prove that I tore my calf muscle the orthopedic surgeon said that MRI revealed that the calf muscle is torn. Please the only way to get the word out to everyone that may be interested in working for these people to stay clear of them. I finally wised up and went on to continue my education so this does not happen again. If there is any truck drivers out there seeing this. Stay clear of this company they will do you wrong. I was warned by friends they would try to terminate me after I got released from the doctor. And they did. I truly believe it was over them paying me while I was off of work due to an injury. They will treat you dirty. I wished there was some other way to find out if I can get the word out throughout the internet about these people.
