Exactly. I put it in park, pulled the emergency brake (not sure if it was all the way pulled) and got out. When I come back to the rental it was gone. When I went to retrieve it, it was in park. According to the sups a test was done and everything checked out fine thus placing the blame on driver error

It’s obviously not a common occurrence and points to big issues. But I’ve seen it happen.

Ok. So, are you a full time pkg driver? With seniority? This DQ thing? Question anyone: can you be DQ'd from driving as a full time pkg driver? And what would that mean? Such as you still have a job but can't drive..?
The parking brake still worked fine, and it also didn't seem to want to roll even when I took it off, so I think it may have been limited to the gearshift and not really affected the actual transmission. Stayed cautious and wrote it up. You're right, though, that's what I should've done.

You left out the part where you left the truck running.

It didn't fit his "I did nothing wrong" narrative.

That’s not relevant on this post. My original post is different from this one. I’m asking something here on how to follow up when my suspension is over.

Contact your business agent. Your BA should be able to answer these questions for you.

That’s the plan. I just wanted to see others opinions.
One time I parked on a hill, while I was grabbing a package from the back I heard a loud pop and grinding noise and the truck started rolling downhill, luckily I was in it to stop it. Tranny was shot and the mechanic took it from there, but would that of been considered unavoidable since the ebrake wasn’t all the way tightened?

we had a couple rollaway during peak season 2018..both were in budget rentals..drivers did return to work after sitting out a few weeks.

I'll ask again: Can a pkg driver-tcd or otherwise be "dq'd" ? Because of an accident? So, you are arbitrarily "unqualified" erasing all your training and such?
