[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5178303, member: 76643"] Last year a coworker was covering a route dispatched the near the end of a boxline. He got ansy about his air commits and decided to basically force his way out of the building. Any given morning there's between 6 in and 1 ft of space between your pkg car and both neighbors, and there's at most 10-15 ft of space between your row and the opposite row. He was driving a P-1200, so it was very ill-advised. Wound up pulling off part of his neighbor's bumper. Panicked and rolled out without saying a word. We were short-handed, but I'd say he still got extremely lucky to walk away with only a warning letter. Even our contract specifies that UPS has every right to terminate a driver who fails to report an accident that they either knew happened or should have known happened -- progressive discipline isn't required. I know the temptation [USER=44554]@MassWineGuy[/USER]; I've had to tell on myself for a minor backing accident. It's not fun but it spares you from worrying about your livelihood. I'm glad you dodged the bullet this time, let it be a lesson. [/QUOTE]
