Well now lets throw out something interesting.
New driver goes out and after about 25 days is making a delivery that is really tough. Barely a path, with little gravel if any. Has to go open a gate, go through and deliver, come back through and close the gate.
While begining to move again, the P500 slides a bit to the passenger side and the side of this narrow dirt path drops out from under the tire and our new driver is STUCK.
Now, after all the sweating and cussing and trying to get out, he ends up calling the delivery sup. Now we all know that if a wrecker is called, then there will be an accident charged to the center and the driver, causing the driver to bet bumped off delivery for at least a year, but for all practical purposes it will be two years before he can go back to delivery.
Now this sup calls one of the other drivers in the area and says "go by there and see what you can do" So the driver goes by there in his piece of junk truck and quickly understands that his truck just is not man enough. Besides, as he tries to back the 3/4 miles to where the P500 is stuck, he almost gets sideways in the path.
So the driver calls another driver that is fairly close and that driver in a P700 gets a logging chain from a customer and, after a few tugs and prayers pulls said 500 out of danger.
No damage to "driveway", truck etc.
So now my question of both management and hourly:
Was this a dishonest act by either management or the drivers involved. If so why and what was dishonest about the actions of those involved. What disipline should be taken on whom and why.
Your thoughts.
Disclaimer: The afore mentioned story was purely fictional. Any portrayal of any real occurance or persons is purely coincidental.
