Lack of details. Hard to tell what happened or why.

Cost cutting in the car wash resulting in dirty windows and unable to see the pedestrian.

I'd almost laugh and agree with that statement.... but, that's what the pre-trip is for.

Don’t think they would let us wash our cars even just the windshield before at or after start time

The pre-trip includes cleaning both sides of the glass?

I have my own telescoping pole that attached a broom as well as a squeegee to wash my windshield. If it's dirty, I clean it. Simple as that. I did it with my center manager yelling at me to leave and not a care was given.

You absolutely have the right to clean your windows inside and out (and mirrors) with supplies provided

by the company while on the clock. Period.... end of story. Or, you can refuse to take the vehicle on road.

If the family hasn’t already contacted lawyers, lawyers has already contacted the family.

But feeder drivers can wash their rigs every day if they want..stupid.

Accident happens but don't be too quick to come to conclusion. We have to wait...it is sad though.

Maybe they are trying to push you out to retire????

I know some of the FT car washers resent the fact that I have a higher hourly rate then them.

Would that be grievable? The same as air drivers delivering ground packages?

"No citations against the driver at this time."

That's what catches my attention. You would think if the driver did anything wrong, as far as traffic laws are concerned, he'd be ticketed right away.

UPS doesn't care, of course. It's bad publicity. No matter what the facts turn out to be at the end they'll push hard for his termination.

The sad thing is this is fairly routine where I live. Not with UPS, but just in general. Every other month it's like we're reading of another pedestrian that got wiped out by a vehicle. When the dust settles, it's always the same story. Wearing dark clothing, after dark, crossing the road in the dark 50 ft or more from the nearest well lit intersection, almost always drunk, and usually a native.

Very few details, but one detail I can assure you of it that he is not currently working

UPS does not care if you got a ticket especially if you hit a pedestrian. Depending on the fact of the case, he may get his job back or he may not.

Could be waiting for the toxicology report. Sure hope the driver has nothing to hide.
