Should give cacti a break. Poor guy worked all his life and doesn't have much to show for his efforts.
As long as he's happy who cares what anybody else thinks?
Cactus
Just telling it like it is
That’s OK. I don’t have to worry about my BS meters going into overload every time he makes a post.
Being a terrible driver is like being stupid. It isn't his fault even if the accident was his fault. He could still qualify for unemployment benefits even if he was fired for cause. Some people just are not cut out to be professional drivers. If you think otherwise, you haven't been paying attention to the world around you.
Firing for cause due to carelessness is different. If the guy is incapable of driving, and you hired him, he should be able to collect unemployment. If you hire someone to teach calculus, and later learn he can't even add or subtract, it isn't his fault he lost the job, even if you have cause to fire him. I think that if presented right, he could win a claim to UI benefits under some conditions.

Happy? Have you ever seen cacti make a post that shows he is happy and content. His bitterness is gonna drive him to an early grave.
Well I know he certainly happy that he isn't working.

Cacti wakes up unhappy and the trend continues all day long.
Here's what stands out. This poor soul was determined by Fat Freddy not the contractor to be worthy and capable of safely driving a FXG branded truck operation under Fat Freddy's DOT authorization. The contractor doesn't get to decide who will and will not drive the vehicle.
So if the kid is terminated by Fat Freddy the contractor as a matter of moral principle should let the kid draw his unemployment. While it was Fat Freddy and Fat Freddy alone who decided that the kid could drive it was the contractor who allowed the kid to get caught up in the mess that is Fedex Ground. .
Just another example of how completely and utterly powerless that so called " entrepreneur " is in the land of Fat Freddy.

Your world is Phantasmagoric!
If that's the word you chose to use to describe daily life at FXG... fine. Your being able to come to terms with how things are at Ground... that's your problem.... But, this is the way things are at Ground. Just be glad that you were never there.
If a worker can't drive his Ford f150 without rolling it what makes you think he isn't a liability in a much larger more top heavy vehicle

If you flip like Dukes of Hazzard and land the 82145 on her wheels is it really a roll-over? Jeeebus, think of all the IC's tumbling around in a stunt like that
Another catch22 - they insure your truck but won't provide you insurance to cover the "other" vehicle. instead they willbill you for the damage. Amazing underhand policies.
It will be fine

Not true. We are on the hook for a high deductible basically. It’s insurance with zero in premiums and a high deductible if the accident was preventable. It’s all clearly spelled out, so I’m not sure how you decide that’s underhand.
Does he sound happy to you? Really?
He at least sounds content. Why not ask him?
