I honestly didn't know that I hit it,.................................... I didn't even hear anything when I backed.................................... just wish I would have gotten out to double check myself.
Just being picky...if you didn't know you hit it,why would the thought cross your mind to get out and check ?
If she was across the street having coffee at the neighbor's, are you suggesting her coffee pot is broken? We could deliver a new one.How would you know what woman called? What if she was lurking in her home and you didn't see her? What if she was across the street having coffee at the neighbor's?
I do understand how you could hit somehting and not know - trucks are load focusing on next time - always in a rush. I'm facing the same thing right now been I have been terminated and I'm fighintg for my job. Interview tomorrow with the regional manager and my sup and the union I can't wait to get back on the job. Been off with no pay for 2 weeks and it was a minor incident one I didn't even know that happened until the next day!!!
That thought didn't cross my mind until I got the call informing me that a woman called in on me. Then I could have just knocked on her door informing her and maybe by some slim chance she would have forgave me, since it wasn't major. But seeing as I just rolled off it makes it seem like I had no disregard whatsoever, which is understandable.
jnonomnonoWhen you went back I hope you took a picture of the damage with you phone to compare with that of you management team gets when they go out to do there investigation.
Customers will blame UPS for anything and everything. Maybe the Fed Ex guy hit the fence, or the lady herself and doesn't want her husband to find out. Maybe you hit the fence however if your following the back rules you should know if you did or not. It one thing to hit something and know it and another thing to hit something so lightly and not realize it.
I hit some other guys bumping pulling out of a spot. Now I don't remember this happening - I have a clean record - my sup suggested that I just do a ride along and do a drive test again but the regional manager has terminated me. I have been off work since Dec1/11, .
I find it incredible you got fired for something so minor during Peak. They don't fire anyone during Peak. Is there more to the story?
