Fired for not knowing probably

[Wally]

How many times can you get fired for stupid reasons you left a hand truck in the cab like you have seen other drivers do but you got fired . You forgot to scan a misload.
Things that should be training issues instead you get fired?

Poor baby!

Let me guess. You're the mom that threatened punishment 100 times but never followed thru.

You did a great disservice to your child. They are now learning that's not how the real world works.

Nope a friend of someone who just got fired for a misload

How/why would anyone drive with a handcart in the cab?

"Back when" the 2-wheeler was always loaded in the cab. So were about a hundred packages. I remember times I had to move packages around the shifter each time I changed gears. That's back when they filled the trucks FULL. Have I told you lately how tough we had it?

Mom. Your kid is too coddled.

It's a two wheeler, you're welcome

Because calling it a Dolly is not very PC these days.

Let’s hear your son’s/daughter’s account of what happened.

That's freakin dangerous!

6 months on job said they didn’t know the driver they trained with always had his hand truck in the cab and as far as a misload just forgot luckily no one got hurt all training issues

Guys would steal them, so we chained them up. Then the truck was bricked.

Saw a driver yesterday who straps the dolly in the cab with the jumpseat seatbelt.

Once again this is not my child it’s my neighbor who has a family and made a stupid mistake.

Technically, he's not fired.

He is either "out of service" or "discharged" pending a Local level hearing.

Unless he has a history of being disciplined for these mistakes, he will be back to work.


It does beg the question....

How much training and attention do you think he requires ?


The company is not a babysitting service.

It's a job, with requirements.

If he can't do it without constant management supervision, they will find someone who can.


I'm guessing he still lives at home....
