Can a company terminate over vehicle usage form when you didn't have a company vehicl
I was accused and terminated for driving company vehicle for personal use, which I didn't. I filled it up at a gas station up the road from my house so I wouldn't have to do it the next morning. The supervisor has a personal vendetta against me for a previous incident where I had to call his boss. He discussed the rules for vehicle usage and had me to sign it because he said I hadn't signed one before. I thought it was over, but he called HR and asked them to look through my file and they found a vehicle usage form I signed in '08 upon being hired. When I was hired I drove my personal vehicle for 10 months which my supervisor didn't tell HR.(HR told me this) After my supervisor learned HR had a signed form he asked if I could be terminated and she said yes, which he was waiting to do. The question is,when I received a company vehicle shouldn't they have me sign the vehicle usage form then? Now that they have the signed form (from hire date) they're saying the company has a zero tolerance, but before the form, the supervisor went over the rules and had me sign, as if that was a warning. Can I go the head of HR and present this case?

It was after work hours (7pm) The supervisor was fine with that until he learned about the signed form, now he wants to terminate which is not right. Should I appeal ot head of HR?
