[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 5232097, member: 1944"] I hit 1 dog during my career. Had a great center mgr, and the owner was more upset about me being upset, than his pet. My manager at that time told me the owner called back twice asking if I was Ok. Lucy was a loved rottweiler. Got out the door and ran across the street to her Grammas. I braked but it was icy, and dark but I was watching yard lines and saw her coming. She went in front of my rear wheels, it was terrible. I laid on the horn, and got out and covered her with my coat, until the owners came out. Didnt sleep well for weeks. The one I got charged with, I did not hit. The OMS told me telematics showed I was going 2.3 mph, as the road was a dead end with lots of kids, and terribly bumpy. The owner said he saw me hit it. They could not prove I hit it. videoed the underneath of my truck, checked my tires. But I couldnt prove I did not hit it. Just the opposite of a courtroom. Charged me with it, circle of honor 4 months away. They can do whatever they want. I fought it, Did no good. Made an example of me in front of all my peers. And made me continue to deliver to the house until the man came at me with hedge trimmers, then I refused. Soon after I left the company. Lost alot of sleep over that too.. At my hearing I told them I would sooner wrap your truck around a pole than kill someones pet. Asked to have it removed and called an incident not an accident, but they would not. If i had the union guys from here, I would have won, but my reps were not stellar. I think the moral is if they want you gone, they will find a way. Through false charges, harrassment, whatever it takes. [/QUOTE]
