Refused to drive a box truck, Got sent home from work on a saturday an hour in. Any Advice?

Came into work this morning, clocked in and waited to find out who i was going with to help out, outside of my regular department, it’s saturday work so usually its helping out the other department to catch up on work. Once one of the managers/supervisors arrive, they tell me im going with them and that they want me driving a tall box truck, i normally drive a wide tanker for my department and theres a significant height and length difference between the two, its nowhere near the same. I was not told ahead of time and even if i was, its a truck i don’t feel comfortable driving at all and that’s exactly what i told the supervisor very calmly and he immediately proceeded to tell me to go home if i wasn’t gonna drive the box truck. Anything i can do or is this just one of those…

Anything i can do or is this just one of those take it on the chin situations? (theres no one else higher than him in power, hes not the owner but hes been with the owner since the company started so usually what he says goes. its a bit of a small/medium sized company located in nj) any advice helps, thanks in advance!
