[QUOTE="hubrat, post: 838764, member: 869"] Here's another: guy approaches a dead end, turns left, never even looks to the right to see that I am turning left onto the street he's coming out of. He said the sun was in his eyes. Well, yeah, the sun was to his left. If he woulda bothered at all to look right he woulda seen me and shade. I was honking my horn the whole time. Cop faulted him but issued no citation. My center manager came out, didn't even take any pics because it was so clearly unavoidable. I finished the route no problem, and later when my on car was interviewing me he asked what I could have done to avoid it. I said nothing other than be at the bar around the corner. Everybody who actually talked to anyone involved agreed that this was unavoidable on my part. Well some twit did an investigation which must have entailed only reading the police report and not comprehending what she read. I was charged with avoidable, didn't find out until the on-car had transfered and center manager had retired. IMO the people making their stupid policies are the same idiots multitasking on the road and putting people in danger. They clearly know nothing about professional driving. The guy that hit me was a nice old silver haired man, owned a business on my route. Lmao he was looking for his girlfriend's car to meet her for lunch when he hit me. He retired soon after. Now, if I were in his shoes and I found out that the company faulted their driver, I would let my insurance company know, perhaps a lawyer as well, so they could collect the money to fix my brand new BMW. Back then I never would've thought of telling him. I would've protected my company. I guess ignorance was bliss for a while, and I do still find the lack of concern for and trust in one's employees a bit shocking. Btw I do take responsibility when it's mine. I scraped a nice eight foot line down the side on a mailbox tongue once. And I had one tier 3 that I could've easily avoided by not trying to drive with a broken ankle (an avoidable injury earlier that day...slipped on the wet steps of the package car). Hard to believe it took 'em years to demote the guy who sent me back out. Of course, by the time they did he had screwed up a whole lotta other stuff, including a couple careers. Apologies for venting. I'm usually at least a little more diplomatic about the company. I enjoy my job immensely, but I'm tiring of being harassed with unfair production standards by "an entity" that cares nothing about my safety or comfort. My caution here is dust in the wind. Just because you pay me well doesn't give you the right to treat me like crap. I have given you that permission thus far. I'm glad that so many ppl here feel they are treated so well that they can't identify with the rest of us. I am relieved to know that there is some integrity still around. Enjoy it. IMO, it's fleeting. [/QUOTE]
