Tree Branches

Thanks Austin

That's trick's favorite line. Austin just pilfers it occasionally.

Let me start off by saying I drive in the city.

I hit a branch last year, new on the route....it was on Oak tree branch, stopped the package car dead in its tracks. Put a huge hole in the roof, called my sup and it was considered an accident.

Daily, tree branches hit the side of my truck and leaves scratches. There is absolutely no other way around it. I either let them hit the side or I have to park 3-5 feet from the curb.

Did you get fired?

Big mike? Tell us the story, you've posted the same question on two different long dead threads, whos tree did you kill?

Imagine having so few problems in your life that you get salty over broken city tree branches and take pictures of people's trucks so you can (most likely) tattle about it. Maybe this pandemic was overdue.

Did you get fired?

Yes but it was a wake up call.
I've turned my life around and now I'm an arborist trying to atone for my sins.

So you have literally become a tree hugger?

Nope, just an accident.

Pretty sure running out of gas is sheeted up as crash

Hi center....just calling to let you know that a tree branch came down off a tree as I was passing by. It hit the truck but no damage. I set the tree branch off to the side.

The official reason for planting median-line trees in my city is because it increases the perception of how fast one is going with the trees whipping by. They will get bigger however.

I am slow(and dense) but anyone ever heard of a SPEEDometer?

Too busy texting to check that.

If you’re not first, you’re last.

If you’re not first, you’re last.

The chick at the bar said that to me last night.

Not exactly. If you can’t deliver it safely by driving then cart the packages up and walk them off

lol

Did you get fired?

Depends on the type, size and diameter of the branch. It could be a automatic discharge.

I’m the best there ever was I wake up in the morning and piss excellence

Seems to me it's the citys responsibility to trim the trees. I think I would give their public works office a call, and POLITELY request they trim on that street.

This is true. So you should be getting a check in the mail since they are incompetent and you are doing the cities job for them
