[QUOTE="sambag, post: 5738954, member: 81806"] Canada. 3 years as ups driver. I had an accident on January hitting a parked car when my truck slid on ice due to bad weather. Two days ago, Oct 25, 6pm dark at night, I hit another parked car when it was parked far from the sidewalk. I had to go over yellow lane a bit to avoid it. When I got back to the lane, I clipped car’s bumper with the middle part of my truck. Manager decided to suspend me for 3 days. Union guy said. I have 2 options: accept 3 days or grieve but manager said they will up it to 5 days. Manager said I’m lucky because other drivers get fired after 2 accidents in a year. He’s just probably trying to scare me and it is working. Union guy advices me to take 3 days because 90% chance they won’t implement it because our department is in desperate need of drivers. My big problem is I’m living in fear. I get anxiety and depression easily. Now I drive in fear. My mind is always saying: what if I get into an accident again within a year? I will lose my job. And it’s affecting my personal life as I have kids to feed. Need advice to help me ease my mind? [/QUOTE]
