[QUOTE="FedExer267, post: 821495, member: 18716"] At the end of the day when we punch out we come to a screen where we can either hit no defects or put in what is wrong with the truck. I remember back when I was hired I was told by Contractor to always hit no defects that it is his business and he will take care of the problem. I told him one day my tire was getting low and needed a new one he said no problem. The next day it was not fixed. I told him whats up where is my tire oh I will get to it. Then I am on route and find out he is out of town for the rest of the week. I get in that night and fill it out on the scanner, later that night he calls me at home and rips me a new one. I told him basically look my life is more important than delivering your boxes you have the responsibility of keeping your drivers safe and providing safe vehicles for them to drive. He was upset because he had to drive back and take care of the problem. Not my problem I would of come in and refused to drive and left. At the end of the day I have a family to get home to and I should feel safe when I am on the road for this company. Contractors are notorious for the attitude what FedEx does not know will not hurt them I have heard it said by many of them but thats a pretty big risk when you have people driving your vehicles. I still do not see why drivers should be held responsible for Contractors vehicles when the majority can give a crap about you, all they want is their packages delivered. This should be 100% on them. There are Contractors that threaten their drivers for refusing to drive and now FedEx will disqualify you if you do. Real nice. [/QUOTE]
