J&R Schugel Terminated me for requesting a few days off Minnesota

to make a long story short, I completed the training process which was 250 hours otr which was practically 4.5 weeks, after I completed the training process I stayed out for another 1.5 weeks which equals to roughly 2 months of hard work and dedication with no time off.Anyhow a close friend who I knew since 3rd grade passed away.Once I received this devastating news I asked for a few days off to attend my friends funeral.The minute I asked for a few days off the very next day I was re-directed to a terminal and was immediately terminated.Yes I was fired for requesting a fews days off so I could attend a friends funeral.After I just got done working very hard for two months otr.I asked why I was terminated and the manager in New Ulm MN responded with untrue lies as to why they were terminating me.

If you’re a kiss a** and will be a brown noser for this company then you’re at the right company but if you’re a family oriented type of guy who likes to go home after you’ve been otr for a while then this isn’t the company for you.This company wants your working everyday with no day off at all.As I said I was terminated because I wanted to take a few days off for a funeral and was fired! So that says a lot about J&R Schugel.They don’t give a s**t about your or your family and the second you request s day off the next second you’ll be immediately terminated, no bullshit and this happened to me.I’m a new driver snd they terminated me immediately once I requested a few day off so do not joing this terrible company, oh and their auto trucks such really bad, can’t even climb a mountain without over heating
