[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3329778, member: 63706"] I'm not sympathetic either, if anyone hurts or kills someone while driving under the influence, losing their job should be the least of their worries, they should be facing a prison sentence. I'm just trying to point out why someone in the OP's situation would not want to self report, and why that is a direct result of FedEx policy. I'd be ok with DQ'd for a year, but in the OP's case, the immediate loss of income would be a deterrent from self reporting, even with the chance of getting his job back down the road. As a direct result of their own policy, FedEx likely has any number of people who have recently gotten dui's still driving for them at any given time, which is what they should really be concerned about. If the state deems that the OP, or anyone else in a similar position, is fit to drive, and doesn't suspend his license, or issues an occupational exception, why should FedEx be at increased liability? If the driver was driving drunk on the job, that's a different story. [/QUOTE]
