[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 2997937, member: 14596"] Well, the honk and announce part has always been the method for approaching a stop. Looking under the car and both gates is excessive, and I would qualify both under "be aware of your surroundings". Had I been your sup and done the punch to punch safety follow up ride on your next day at work, I would have down played the check both gates, and under cars as a quick examination as you approach the property. I also would not have hassled you much about the dog bite. I've been bitten on routes, love em, but dogs can be a pain in this line of work. I can tell you why the center made such a stink about it. At the end of the day, making such a big deal out of it will result in fewer dog bites in the future because drivers will have it in the back of their minds and will be just that little more aware. It was not a personal slight against you. And hey, you got to spend the afternoon hanging out in a waiting room making top rate and the clinic got to gouge old Brown deep pockets. As much as it was a pain for you, it was more expensive for UPS, guaranteed. Did you sue the dog owner? UPS usually does not due to cost/return potential, but I believe the IBT would provide a lawyer to you nearly free of charge correct? I've been out a little over a year. [/QUOTE]
