Avoidable runaway

Just do us all a favor and please post next week to brag about the new job you got that is starting you out at $150k-200k a year. Those posts are my favorite.

We were told not to touch the e brake. But maybe one does need to get it set as a pre trip?
That loud beeping noise you hear, it’s either because you don’t have the parking brake on or it’s because your headlights are on and don’t have the dimmer set to off. I guess that applies to only the newish automatics.

Nah
But its not like im broke bossman and got an interview with a rail company who knows i might be a proud railroader

The rules on the railroad are written in blood. One tiny mistake during your probation and you're done. The same kind of mistake you made here, for example.

Ive been with the company 6 years and driving for 8 months ft 3months was recently discharged for avoidable runaway i was nosed in driveway because i was on a new route and was about to pass the house and turned in the driveway i put truck in 1st pulled e-brake as i was completing the stop the truck was rolling i ran off the porch and jumped in the truck applied the brakes truck still tapped the car notified the center manager he comes out to the scene slapping the ebrake with 2 fingers and talking to me like im a child or something i then retaliated with a few words of my own i went to intergrad school driving automatic trucks i dont know anything about tightening an ebrake and niether does the last 50 or so drivers that came from driving school only ones who know are the drivers that came up driving manual shift before the automatics were implemented the mechainic told them the ebrake was a wet noodle when he arrived to the scene i was honest through the whole process and was still discharged went to local same story discharge upheld and the company threw in a few lies to keep me fired the following week i went to panel in florida where i found out my name was forged on the paperwork the company used to to discharge me and the union couldnt win tgat case we had a lady with an rollaway hit the mothership while employees is on it got 3 weeks suspension a cardinal is a cardinal right we had a guy had 3 accidents and lied until he got caught red handed still got his job they swinging the part time and full time how they want im not a troubled employee so if a pter commit a cardinal how are the getting their job back when you commit a cardinal it dosent seperate the two in the contract book
I don’t think we have any manuals left in our building. Maybe the mapmav told you to pull nose first in the driveway and have a back first exception? Gotta make that bonus

the guys already been to panel , i aint a miracle worker.

I dont know if i would have admitted to a roll away and got into that bag of worms. he said the truck tapped that car with little damage.

i aint saying I would have lied i just would not have told the truth.
This is 2020 we have telematics
Not that 1950's crap you had.









Besides I had to get you out of current events.

Who cares what someone else did. You're a grown ass man, handle yo S*. Again, you have driven for a year and who knows how long lady has been driving. I bet your mouth got you unemployed. You should have called the man, owned up to what you did, and beg for mercy while eating S* pie. Would you hire you? I bet you would fire a guy like you if you were a business owner...FACT.
