Dog hit

[Moe69]

I hit a dog that ran into the street. I stopped got out and talk to the lady. I had no idea I had to call it in as an accident. They terminated for not reporting an accident. I have a clean record with UPS. Is there anybody else that has been in my situation?

why didn't you call your center?

I'm betting you will be given a couple of days at home to think about what a bad boy you've been and then will be called back----------------unless you are a real friend-up---then its the excuse they've been looking for.

Yes. I have. Unfortunately I ran a dog over and killed it one time. I also called the police on myself, and called my center manager immediately. Never got charged with an accident. It shook me up pretty good though, I kept thinking, what if that had been a person?

My on car said hitting a dog in the street will never be your fault but in someone's driveway will get you in hot water because "we're not supposed to be in driveways" as we're driving down a mile long driveway in the country....

Obviously I'd call the center in either case don't know why you wouldnt.

It is the responsibility of the dog owner to keep the animal out of the street. Unfortunately, most do not see it that way. They see it as a way to make a quick buck off UPS.
Why aren't cats an accident? OR birds?
But DOGS, they are an accident at UPS

why didn't you call your center?

I didn't know it was considered an accident, along with many other drivers.

You must be new

 

[Moe69]

11 years no accident's

 

[burrheadd]

11 years no accident's

And you don't know to call in a hit dog?

You must pay even less attention at pcm than I did

Did it die? Did you leave it wounded in the road?

 

[Covemastah]

Common sense would be to call police & call the office !!

Understatement

This is what i'm wondering... did the dog make it?

Poor Fluffy---------dogs that chase cars are playing Russian Roulette.

Why would he call the police? He said he talked to the owner.

You hit something. It doesn't matter if it was a water balloon I'd still call my center.

there's a town just North of me that has this city ordinance

Guthrie ordinance amendment makes drivers accountable if animal is struck by vehicle

Then it would make sense to call the police where you are.

Though guthrie OK is a some what small town. Police have nothing to do out there.
