[QUOTE="Boywondr, post: 4345691, member: 77695"] An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of hearings. Dogs present? Honk the horn and sheet it NI1 in your cab if the customer doesnt come out, give it to the clerk and have them call or post card the consignee if they dont answer. The driver will be blamed if they get bit, run over the animal, and anything else the company wants to tack on in their all knowing wisdom. I know one supe that got bit in the butt by a dog hiding in the tall grass waiting for the opportunity and of course the supe got into the truck last. He went to the hospital. I guess they didn't honk and call out "ups" enough. Whatever. We are almost always at fault. I just try to limit my vulnerability when dogs are present. Creep in and creep out...after or without delivering the pkg. I know for a fact that slowing the truck down to a crawl takes less time and stress than filling out an accident or injury report and sitting unpaid in a hearing. [/QUOTE]
