Thare was no test for him. I am a black women he is white. I was drivinh a straight truck, he was driving a forklift.
I broke a mirror, he broke the water pipe in tje warehouse?
Can you help?
A: it may not be an issue of race. since you drive a truck, you may be subject to the federal motor carrier rules and regs. in particular sec382.303 provides for post accident testing if there was a ticket issued and there was injury or one of the vehicles had to be towed. if it was racially motivated you must first file with the EEOC. at our firm we have a lawyer very experienced with employment law, rich long, and you can call him for a free explanation.
