failed for not memorizing 10 point paragraphs word-for-word...?

[Brownslave688]

There was no integrad and minimum of BS when I started driving. The 5 seeing habits were about all you needed to (mostly) remember. Just jump in a truck and learn on the job. And focus on the important things like paying attention to what you are doing instead of trying to remember some silly thing you were supposed to memorize.

I got lucky and didn't have to go to intergad or whatever. Best advice my sup gave me was do what you need to to make scratch. Worry about all the other stuff after day 31.

You know it's funny I know our last few drivers have come nowhere near scratching 5 days out of 30. They keep them on anyway. Why? Because even management knows the numbers have gotten so skewed its stupid.

Apparently 90 stops and 260+ miles is barely a ten hour day now. I just laugh. The only way to scratch many rural routes is drive 50+ mph on gravel.

Kinda funny they want us to know where to go in case of a tornado.. Have they ( MGMT) ever realized that we are on the road most of our day ?? If they are truly concerned about our safety, they should teach us what to do if on area and there is a tornado.. 1) listen for siren indicating there is a tornado in the area 2) dont stop working or you will be written up/fired 3) pray that you are not killed .!

This is one of my biggest pet peeves during the spring/summer. If we are under a thunderstorm or tornado warning they should send a message to every driver in that county and let them know what's headed their way.

On my last checkup ride, my on car sup didn't say one word about the 10 point commentry and the 5 seeing habits

They don't even send our new drivers to intergrad here, someone from the safety committee mentors them. I've trained a few myself, all are still working accident and injury free so far.

If he's hired for local sort they won't fire him for not knowing his fives and tens

Depends. Were you hired off the street or were you already a union employee? If the former, it’s been nice knowing ya. If the latter, you go back to what you were doing before and try again when you’re ready.
