'$1300 on a fill-up': Annoying boss fired when stupid 'no-stopping' rule fuels trucker's revenge

There's nothing worse than unnecessary interference from middle management when you're just trying to do your job. You know how to do your job; they know you know how to do your job… But that's not going to stop them from hitting you with every stupid meddling directive that they possibly can to make it look like they're doing something and justify their salary. After all, it only flows in one direction: downwards. And it's easier for them to nod their head and smile when their boss comes up with a stupid idea than it is for them to disagree. That means more effort to get the same amount of work done as before for you, a bigger bonus, and a pat on the back for them.
