[QUOTE="JDAM00, post: 1156841, member: 44120"] We are a very small facility, I do not work for freight, I work as a loader. How to explain it. The facility is a long building. One end of the building has a trailer sticking straight out of it. Ups has a parking area, where the cars will park Perpendicular to that trailer sticking out of the end, about 3 cars, and has a barrel after the 3rd car indicating "No Parking Beyond This Point". As a trailer will round that corner, or maybe be pulled out along where the cars are parked, it would be very easy for the back end of the trailer to bump the barrel and sign without really noticing it (my guess). When we are working, the entire area becomes restricted to freight drivers, and to even walk out there would require a yellow vest. Because the car was fine 2 minutes before work, and the damage was noticed 1 minute into our first break, it is safe to assume it was a feeder driver. As soon as I saw it I informed management. They came out, we took pictures, and the pre load full time supervisor said "I will make sure this is taken care of for you". I don't know if they are going to go after freight, or the 2 drivers who were on that morning, or if they are going to handle as UPS. I was parked in a defined parking area, it was UPS property that fell onto my car and gouged it. I just hope they don't drag it along, or that I have to pester them about it. Unlike many other employees, I have some faith in management, and believe they have integrity. If they try to wezel out of it, the facility will lose one if its few employees who is not dug in ready for a Teamster-ups war at every turn. [/QUOTE]
