[QUOTE="11.19igrad, post: 4665939, member: 79500"] what are you smoking? of course i was in the union. what lie are you talking about. a sup told me for the first time EVER that my handbrake was loose. Integrad didnt teach that and on over 10k deliveries previously I had not the slightest clue to check if it was loose or tight. what baffles me is how accidents with a driver in control of the truck are easier to overcome than a gearshift not properly engaged, no alarm for such a major problem and not an ounce of review or training on rollaway prevention anywhere at integrad or at the hub. nothing. zilch. it doesnt need to be a clause in the contract. if a gearshift isn't engaged there should be an alarm just like if the handbrake isn't engaged. rollaways should be impossible. For as fast as we have to work and handle countless tasks each that require our full attention, alarms are essential. even the best of the best arent always going to be perfect. mistakes happen with this much going on, this fast. how many "funny" faces is this gonna get? everything is just "funny". at ups, common sense is deeply frowned upon. and since i questioned the lack of it in the training process, grown men got their feelings hurt and thats really why I was fired. a sup NEVER examined or corrected me on my parking methods or pre-trip even once. Never said a word about a loose handbrake or preventing a rollaway. So, thats their character, their choice to be that careless, that full of hate and misery and disregard for life. I came to work hard and improve my life with a decent job that I expected great training to do. Thats all. But that was too much to ask for at UPS. [/QUOTE]
