except our actual uniformseverything green turns brown eventually
The mechanics response was not appropriate.
He wasted more time writing a snotty, sarcastic reply than it would have taken him to determine what the exact problem was with the turn signals.
Yes, the air driver probably could have been more specific (left? right? front or back?) but the mechanic was out of line.
Why the hell does he need a P7 for air anyways ?
Forgot, UPS has gone green !

UPS has vehicals that have automatic cancelling turn signals? Man I have been gone a long time.
We have one Sprinter and one Workhorse in the building, the P-7s are the next size up. All the ones like mine get grabbed, they have automatics in them. Mine has 154K miles on it already.
Yeah Rod, you don't have to hang your left arm out the door and point which way you are turning anymore.
The DVIR is a DOT mandated document. A little professionalism should be displayed by both parties involved. Driver - describe the problem to the best of your ability. Mechanic - record what action was taken. That's it! The DVIR is not meant as a place to record your pissing match.I disagree. The guy writing the problem up should be a bit more descreiptive in what the problem is.
Should the mechanic check everything and guess what the Driver saw?
He said that they worked. If they were intermittent or didn't display to him, etc. would have been nice info to have.
Put yourself in his position.

Trouble is, the DVIR is considered a legal document. We've had a few drivers and mechanics get a stern lecture about what they wrote in the book.Its nice to have a little humor in the work environment! +1 for the mechanic
