STATEMENT OF CLAIM: In the fall of 1960, I bid on the RoanokeMarion Over-the-road Truck run. No other one with more seniority than me bid on it. Two or three with less seniority and one with only status. Mr. Buchanan was awarded the job. I protested and Mr. Meredith and Mr. McArthur told me that I would have to be qualified before I was awarded a job. Completely disregarding Rule 8, page 7 of the Express Agreement.
They told me I could not even drive the truck on the Public Highways as the law did not allow it, but I talked with a State Trooper and he told me with my Chauffeur's license and Health Card, I would not be kept off any Highway in the United States unless the Company did it, etc.
