[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 231343, member: 484"] Actually several things, none of which are good on a driver that needs to pay attention out on road. First his home life sucked. You know, too many hours away from family, a wife that does not understand what being a UPS man really means both mentally and physically. And that goes for our female drivers as well. Then couple that with some recreations that maybe got a bit out of hand at times, or adult beverages that were not consumed enough hours before start time. The accident site tells it all. No skid marks before impact, he was trying to swerve when he hit her, and that action, coupled with the large difference in speed was what pulled her truck down. Only tire marks were the ones that quit rolling when her back bumper was between his tires and frame. As for the testing etc, I can not comment on that, as it is still an active investigation. Suffice it to say, if you use a straw to snort, leave it at home, do not stick it into your carry on bag. And if you do other medications that are narcotic, leave them at home too. You dont want them on a UPS vehicle. Like I said, when all the facts came out, he decided that he could either quit, or be fired without much chance in hell of getting his job back. Sorry end to an otherwise great career. d [/QUOTE]
