Most people do all of that as a civilian but to also serve your country is a special reward that (unfortunately) most American citizens will never enjoy.
Since your asking questions I'll ask you one? What have YOU done to ensure that I get home safely at a decent time????? Me, I bring the truck home in pc every day. On all sorts of terrible roads,road conditions and 100's of miles. I use my common sense to do it. That involves thinking for myself and choosing the safest way to do something. Sometimes that means taking a hit on the telematics report. So be it. It is what it is. Deal with it. As far as a decent time, I don't decide that. The dispatch decides that. Company violates the 9.5 rule daily in my center. You ask if i have brought up my concerns. Yes. I've notified my safety committee. Nothing done. I've notified my sup. Nothing done. He said follow the process. Again nothing done. I've grieved my issues. The grievance magically disappears and they fire another driver w/ the same grievances. I spoke to the labor manager and her answer was to bid another route which solves nothing because the incoming driver will suffer the same safety violations instead actually fixing the problems that are clearly stated in the contract that they will do.I called OSHA and he said what do you want me to do? as if I was bothering him. I told him "you tell me, your OSHA" Remember when I said actions speak louder than words. No actions just words time and time and time again. All I wanted was a chance to sit down , voice my concerns and have a constructive conversation about what could be done to aleviate or minimize my concerns. That's what I've done. What have you done? ???? "You guys" Don't play dumb. You know dang well that your not a teamster UPSer so that makes you management. A teamster would never talk the way you do. Anymore questions?
