What if you are so sick you feel it unsafe to drive....What do you do? Does the company still force dispatch or do they have some lenancy?
A guy I went to cdl school with got really sick and checked himself into the hospital Cuz he was really really sick company took the truck and gave him a bus ticket home.. I'm not saying that will happen to you or anyone else he wuz in the hospital for2 weeks.... If you can't Drive safe then don't Drive no load is worth your life or others....

If you're too sick to drive you let them know. I'd you're not under a load then they won't give you on until you feel better.
If you are under a load and cannot drive it safely then they'll repower the load, meaning a different driver takes the load from you and delivers it.
You're the captain of your ship and safety is the #1 priority for both you and the company.
