Well, the day has come that I knew was coming just a month later the expected. When I went on Medical Leave in December I was notified by Swift that the Medical leave would be for 1 month only. That if I was not back in 30 days I would be placed on general Leave of Absent (LOA) for 90 days. After 90 days I would be terminated from the company. They kept me an extra 30 days, I was terminated last Friday, 150 days since my accident, 14 days before I see my doctor to convince him I am ready to go back to work. I jokingly asked HR and my fleet manager they couldn't wait another couple of weeks. I also notified my FM that I wont be returning to his fleet (local Rite Aid) as I no longer have a car to get to the DC (85 miles away now that I moved), but will be going back OTR, he is sending the forms I will need to be rehired (medical release from the doctor). So with all hope in 3 to 4 weeks I will be back to rolling along the long black stretch called the Interstate.
