Rollaway

[OrioN]

if you're not brought back at local you're toast they need to get that runaway out of the union book because our trucks are raggedy

This is a different story... he was in a rental/ uhaul

Any chance that we might could negotiate on just being suspended from driving six months, and not have to re-qualify?

Don't ask us ask your steward and BA

So it’s been almost the time limit on my suspension or whatever it is. My paper I received stated it was a suspension “with all time served” (not sure what that means in ups land) but when I was in the office for all of it, the center manager stated I was also disqualified. I never signed anything or received anything saying I was dq. If I didn’t sign anything like that is there a possibility when my whatever is up, I can go back driving?

DQ means you can bid on new driver positions after 6 months in most places.

Management can disqualify you anytime they want to you in your first 30 days to driving.
Guess you have to go back to preload or unloading

Cool story bro

I wasn’t in my 30 days. I had a rollaway back last year.

More rollaways: I'm telling you guys we might actually have a problem here with new people and not going over the specifics of what could cause them.

Right. How in the hell can you have a roll a way when 99% of the package fleet is automatics?

Rental.

Rental.

What kind of rental is not an automatic? Just curious.

I was just about to ask this

It was an automatic.

DQ applies to your first 30 days. After that you're either suspended or terminated. I would inquire with the center manager what he meant by that

 

[Oldrow2018]

It started out as a termination for the avoidable accident. Then was moved to a suspension with all time served.

So let me ask this, were you trained on and drove a manual for most of your career as a driver? If not, how and the hell can you have a roll a way in an automatic?

He obviously threw it in neutral while running/gunning ...these new guys are so freaked out by stops per hour, eventually will kill someone out there.

Forget to put it in park. Or put it in R by mistake. Or have a screwed up gearshift that pops itself out of P and into R throughout the day, like I had yesterday.
