not enough
by: Anonymous

I am glad to see that this drivers case was won.the dispatchers should be held to the same financial standard as the drivers. as drivers we assume all the risk.the money she was rewarded was not even close enough, but I am glad that it was a favorable outcome for the driver.

STAA Refusals

Thank you all for your comments. I am Ms. Ferguson's attorney. Prime's actions in firing Ms. Ferguson is not illustrative of the industry in general. I know that most carriers will defer to the driver's judgment regarding whether or not it is safe to drive. Unfortunately Prime did not do so in this.

Donna Pass
by: Lady Trucker "MD"

First I want to say thank you I have always said this dispatchers have no clue on how hard it is out here in the winter months. I too was in NV with a load going over Donna Pass. I held out told my dispatcher the conditions were bad and state police was telling us to stay off of the roads. I stayed on top of all reports there is a web site for tuckee CA http://cad.chp.ca.gov/
I was on that site 24/7 while there. Congrats on the findings the judge did good by you and so did your lawyers. It is hard enough for us women out here being in a men's world knowing that we are all equal when it comes to making the right desions.

oh sunny day!

Well good for her. Best luck I've heard yet for a trucker. This story goes to show, don't let your companies push you around. 98% of these dispatchers have never even seen the inside of a truck much less have a ounce of respect for what goes on out here. If you don't feel safe or comfortable, pull it over. The longer you second guess yourself the deeper the hole gets and the worse the weather gets. Be safe out there
