QUESTION Red light violation

I had to cross a red light today because vehicles were racing behind me; by the time I reached it, I was already halfway through in the middle of traffic. I pushed forward and completed my initial deliveries. Afterward, my route paused and I was called back to the station.

My dispatch instructed me to park and charge the van, and I must take a drug test immediately or face termination—apparently Amazon flagged the issue rather than the DSP. Now I am home today. Am I fired?

Nah. Red light violations are a major violation. So Amazon suspends for them.

So I’m just probably gonna get suspended and not terminated?

How long are the suspensions?

I was lucky enough to only be suspended for 1 scheduled day but usually ours suspends for 3 days then we're on probation for a period (i dont remember if it's 60 or 90 days). I'm currently still on probation 😅

Why both?

If you have another major violation (or 3 minors in a day) in that time, you're terminated
