Why do drivers have this elitist attitude?

[Thebrownblob]

Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on BC

Clearly I would be the last in that race because I have no athleticism but I’m honored

I don't know what some of these drivers are thinking ,honestly

I wonder if they were new guys, like new to the company not driving necessarily. I know for me, I was new at UPS with 27 or 28 years driving in and that first 6 weeks or so is stressful getting your punches in. Everyone is telling you that you have a bullseye on your back, company is looking to fire you for any reason while they can, all their ridiculous methods... So I guess a guy with a million things going through his head, I shouldn't be quite so judgy on it.

Like what I said before driving feeders is a big responsibility.

@Wally Can you put “the Hateful 6” on the patch?

Roll aways have been the trendy thing in our district the last few months. 5 of them I think. How the hell you jump out of a big truck without setting the brakes...

We had a senior driver forget to set his brakes on a slope. He got back around the dolly before he realized it. He got hit by it, breaking several bones, He was off work for over a year, and put a new entrance in the side of our car wash when his tractor crashed thru it.

They let him come back?

They let him come back?

Yes, they did. As far as I know, he didn't get disciplined. He retired several years later.

I thought a roll away was the kiss of death.

Damn, painful mistake there. Good thing the truck hit the car wash and not another person.

Normally it is. I guess it depends sometimes. He is really a nice guy. I guess they figured his injuries were enough punishment. They knew he was about to retire as well.

He’s very lucky. Probably good safety record except for the accident.

I was always told that roll-aways were a guaranteed termination, but every roll away I ever saw the driver got their job back, including a couple in feeders.
