Covenant Transport Integrity,honesty ,respect ? Chattanooga Tennessee

Covenant Transport has a legal obligation to notify a driver if any special permits are required when entering a jurisdiction such as NYC,Vermont,when coming off the national network. Covenant was fully aware of the regulations for commercial vehicles exceeding 55 feet or trucks with 48 or 53 foot trailers. The law is quite specific,plain and easy to understand. If I were told about this,permits would have been gotten. This issue is serious and has not gone away nor has it been forgotten. They company of your employ has had an opportunity to make this right but through Jon Huston ,it has refused. I am still in possession of those letters sent by Covenant changing the reason for my dismissal 4 times. Twice by their Personnel Dept.,once by their Security Dept.,and one by their corporate attorney,H.E. Seaton. I also still possess all letters that have been sent directly to David Parker,CEO,etc of Covenant Transport,and one to the Covenant Transportation Group all certified,return receipt requested regarding this matter as well as e-mails sent back and forth from Jon Huston and myself. At sometime in the near future,these will be used and Covenant won't like it. The law for commercial vehicles in NYC/Vermont is the law and compliance is not at their discretion. 

As for you:you need to speak with Jon Huston asap and tell him what you did and what you said. Apologies,are unacceptable. This is an extremely serious issue and if you want to involve yourself on Covenant's behalf,fine,however that would be a very poor choice to make....

All I'm wondering is why didn't u call permits and get them to fax u a copy of the permit so u could go back in there? This story doesn't make much since to me. Ive been there a little over 10 years and nothing like that has happened to me.

As of my original posting until now (approx 6 years),David Parker,whom is CEO,President,Chairman,Owner,of Covenant Transport has not made this right nor contacted me about being fired for refusing to intentionally violate known laws by Covenant Transportation,it's Safety Dept,Dispatch and Permit Dept.,for combination commercial vehicles exceeding 55' in length or with 53' trailers entering N.Y.C by his company. Apparently he his neither committed to the "Biblical principles of integrity,honesty,and respect" that he has personally claimed to operate Covenant by nor this new company motto of 'I C.A.R.E.' , put in place to replace those Biblical principles.

File a complaint with the EEOC, 50 Vantage Way Suite 202, Nashville, TN 37228-1526. you have 180 to 300 days to do so and it will be investigated. You can get a number for them over the internet. I did and I got my unemployment as well after they lied to get it denied. After I hired a lawyer I was given a separation notice as well. I was fired after I quit so I filed a retaliation wrongful termination along with some other things I feel they based it on. It does take a while for it to be settled but usually when they get complaints on a company by more than 1 indidvidual they usually sue on their behalf. just don't let tem get awa with it. Glad to see you were wise enough just as I was to keep records and document everything. This will go a long way in helping you even if it does nothing more than fix it for the next individual so they don't have to put up with this crap. In the end they will have to pay for their wrongdoings regardless. Best wishes. David Parker has ignored my letters to but I addressed them to both him and the mew CEO Joey Hogan. I would try to write a letter to him first that way that can't say he didn't know anything of it.
