Driving with package in the cab, FIRED !
When I read the "suspension and discharge" section of the Western Conference Supplement, I see cardinal infractions such as drinking on duty, provable dishonesty, unprovoked assault on a fellow employee, theft, and wanton and malicious destruction of the Employers property as being grounds for immediate termination. "Having a package on the dashboard" was
not mentioned in that list, so if by some chance there
did happen to be a supervisor all decked out in camoflage gear and hiding in the forest with a pair of binoculars and a telephoto lens who snapped a pic of me driving by with that little package on the dashboard, the
worst thing he could do would be to issue me a warning letter.
That being said, you are 100% correct that having packages in the cab is a no-no. Its a
bad habit that I am trying (unsuccessfully) to break. A lot of my driveways are so rough and pot-holed that they will literally spill my entire load onto the floor, so if my next stop is a letter or a cell phone or some little Amazon envelope for a customer with a crap driveway I will often just toss the thing up on the dash so that I dont have to spend 5 minutes digging for it when I get there.
