I care.

Why?
The man did not follow the methods nor is he no longer employed at this company.
But yet he will not let it go

The one he posted about getting hit in the crosswalk brought great joy to me.

I care.

Care in one hand and poop in the other and see which one fills up the quickest.

This thread has now lasted twice as long as his career, that alone has to be a record.

I was reattempting a COD yesterday afternoon. Approached a marked crosswalk and made eye contact with the car to my left. As I entered the crosswalk that motorist decided to proceed, striking me on the left hand side of my body between my hip and knee, knocking me to the ground. Thankfully he was going less than 5mph so the impact was minimal and I was not injured. To his credit he did get out of the car and repeatedly asked me if I was OK----he even pulled to the side to wait for me to come back from the stop to again ask if I was OK. Several other motorists also got out of their cars to make sure I was OK. I sent an ODS alerting them as to what happened and that I was OK to so that they wouldn't be surprised if someone called in saying I had been hit. The only thing I should have done that I didn't was get the license plate and driver's license information of the driver who hit me.

It's amazing how much concern your mgt team will have for you when they read an ODS message which starts "I have been hit by a car while in a marked crosswalk...." They wanted me to go the doctor and had my on-car finish the day with me. I am a little sore but will be going in this morning. I have a feeling I know what the topic will be at this morning's PCM.

Take the extra second or two to make sure they see you at crosswalks and, if something does happen, make sure to get all of the necessary information and communicate with your mgt team.

Here you go

Oh that must be the censorship. For which I am grateful for.

It just hit me – as I sit in my vintage tank hiding from the bugs with my coffee, I parked the vehicle and secured it using three steps of protection against a rollaway. I didn’t even realize I did this, I must have been for years.

@11.19igrad like I mentioned to you a few weeks ago, it may be all I’m good for, but the nature of my existence can guarantee that I will not ever have any vehicle of mine roll away. If you think I set this up just for the pictures, I’ll show you the bill from the VA on my father dislocated his shoulder trying to release the handbrake. “You had to set the thing so ing tight? I just wanted to take it for a spin.” “Dad, it’s an extra step of protection against rollaway.”

I'm not so sure about that my friend.
The one he posted about getting hit in the crosswalk brought great joy to me.
Pure comedy gold

I stand corrected.

I stand corrected.

Cheers my brother

Why do I chock at least one wheel, engage the handbrake 100%, and curb the wheels? Because here’s what’s at stake. Call it OCD, overkill, but this is the mentality of a UPS driver that has been successful in at least one facet of the job, the one that will get you walked out the door no questions asked unfortunately, accident free.
