Deplorable.
I did that with a 24 foot van once. No victim no crime.
If this on the way out to his route he should have his chain on, just saying.

What do you think?
This happens to most, if not all of us at one point in our careers. This driver was just unlucky to get his/her picture taken while doing it. Disciplined yes, fired? Doubtful.
Absolutely happens to most! Happened to me a few times where I forgot to close the door and lucky for me nothing fell out. However, my route is .5 miles from the building and never put the safety chain on because the rule is to put it on only to and from area. Well, I'm on area as soon as I leave the yard. Anyway, I left and sure enough the back door popped open and about 10 Dell computers were scattered down Dudley road for the .25 miles to the first stop. I only knew about it because a driver from NEW PENN stopped his 18 wheeler on a busy road to tell me I dropped 10 computers on the road! LOL.
Yeah, now I use the safety chain every day(there was a problem with the back door that got fixed after I wrote it up after this embarassment) and I did recover every package in the road. The trail was about 1/8 of a mile long! AND the New Penn driver helped me pick them up. (and NO, nobody from management saw it!) Gotta love our fellow teamsters!
Happened to me once...
Barn door on a P700 didn't quite latch properly.
Center sent me a message..."Are you missing packages from your truck...XXXXXX (another driver) picked them up off the street...)
Response Required; Response: YES.
Never heard a thing about it after that.
This is the kind of mistake you only make once.

This driver is in my local I heard he will be suspended, The pic was taken by a ex employee how now works for Fed ex, who posted it on his facebook page saying "this is why you should use fed ex".
I've heard the way managment found out was from another driver, which I find Deplorable.
It's in our contract that they can not use technology to punish a driver...
