Absolutely NOT POSSIBLE that he didn't know he hit it.
Left the scene of an accident, please fire him.

I’m sure there’s a camera out there somewhere that caught everything. He’s boned if he got out and looked and left the scene

 

[Yeet]

No ,, you'd feel it

I felt it and I wasn’t even there.

They're putting AC in package cars...anything is possible.

That kinda pisses me off. What a waste of a proposal!

But……you were going to go on strike if they didn’t.

I felt it was a good step in the right direction but left too much open to interpretation. The language only require cars purchased after January 2024 to have A/C, cars purchased before only have to have 2 fans. I did a very short stent in package around 2016 and even back then all cars had two fans and I’m here to tell you those fans did jack squat in the Florida summer heat.

Good step in the right direction, but in my opinion not enough. Then again, you have to start somewhere.

What would new drivers do if they were confronted with an old 800 with no power steering, a three foot high first step and only a lap belt?

Quit.

And 100 stops more than senior drivers.

The fans were a big help. Mechanics had fun with one driver when his went out. “ Hey didnt you say we wasted out time putting these in”. They had it taken care of the next day to prevent any excess crying from him. Didnt use it from October till sometime in May.

They would wonder what the thing sticking out of the floor is, and why there are two brake pedals.

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

Probably a contractor.

I don't know of a feeder driver who would crash into a building and flee. Just own it and probably keep your job. Probably a gypsy pulling a UPS trailer. People see the logo and assume it's a UPS driver.

Yeah, it's been 8 years since I retired. I'm probably out of touch.

Say this and walk off

40 stops instead of 300.

I saw a dude park in the center turn lane on the street going by our hub and walk over to me in my tractor to ask where to go in our yard and where to put his set and build an empty etc. When he got to me I looked over and his tractor with a set was freely rolling backwards in the street. Never saw him before and never saw him again lol.
