[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 391080, member: 4653"] I think UPS may have their priorities messed up. For example, if you crack a mirror in your first 30 days on road you get fired? A simple scratch during the time that you are trying to learn the size of the vehicle and where you can put it will get you fired? Yet on day 31, you can broadside a school-van, hit a pedestrian, or rear-end a senior-citizen bus and keep your job. After day 30, you can get into 2 accidents in a week and still keep your job. Why are the rules so strict in the first 30 days when they are so lax on day 31? I wish our supervisers could use some discrection on who to keep or let go in the first 30 days when a $10 mirror or some brown paint is all that is needed to fix the damage. Can anyone agree with me? Just to make myself clear I will say it this way. I know of a driver that was fired in his first 30 for putting a 2 inch "mark" on the truck. I also know a driver the hit a pedesestrian and still has his job. I also know a driver that had 13 accidents in less than 5 years. Why are they permitted to drive but the "newbie" is fired when he hasn't been given the chance to get comfortable with the size of the vehicle yet? Again, I think some discretion should be given to the center-team on the driver and each case should be evaluated individually. NO??? [/QUOTE]
