[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1972909, member: 198"] Sorry about all the negative and presumtious responses towards you. But you have to understand that helpers aren't what they used to be. That's why most drivers (including me) are quick to side with a driver. But in this case I'm starting to think you might have been the victim here. Your driver shouldn't be telling you to walk across lawns. He should be instructing you to stay on designated walk paths and to walk at a brisk pace while doing so. He knows that. And he shouldn't be smoking in the truck either. He knows that too. And, despite what others are saying, (and assuming everything happened just as you said) he definitely should not have abandoned you like that. He should have at least taken you back to your vehicle. He knows that as well. There are bitter :censored:s at UPS just like anywhere else. It sounds like you were paired with one. Or it might have just been a case of having a bad day. I'm going with the former. And he also sounds like he's a runner or gunner or someone that is gutless and goes into "peak mode" because UPS over dispatches him. You were wronged but don't bother taking legal action. It will be a waste of time. There's only one week left but if you really want to finish it out then try and get ahold of the center manger or on car supervisor and explain what happened and that you still want to work. But know this...... 99% of the center managers in the country WILL NOT discipline a driver for what that guy did. Especially during peak. All they care about is numbers on a spreadsheet. Your explanation should only serve to get you on the truck with a different driver. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
