Johnson s Complaint against Lone Wolf and Robbins asserts a cause of action under the Surface Transportation Assistance Act ( STAA ) and a common law cause of action for wrongful termination in violation of public policy. Lone Wolf terminated Johnson s employment for his refusal to alter his log book, his refusal to return and drive a commercial vehicle the next day, and for his complaints to Robbins that these things would involve regulatory violations. Johnson also complained to Robbins about Lone Wolf s regulatory violations in regard to drive time hours and record of duty by drivers. On this same day, Johnson refused to alter his driving log book. After a heated discussion, where Johnson reiterated that requiring him to work the next day would result in a regulatory violation and Robbins repeated his request that Johnson work the next day, Johnson refused to work and Robbins terminated Johnson s employment.
Robbins responded that none of that mattered to him and that Johnson was required to work the next day. Johnson informed Robbins that he was out of available drive-time hours and that he was required by the Department of Transportation regulations to take off a minimum of twenty-four hours. As of June 15, 2011, Johnson had worked fifteen of the last sixteen days and the last ten consecutive days. On June 15, 2011, Robbins required Johnson to work the following day.
