Avoidable runaway

[Cannedbrownie]

What's that thing beside my left knee? It bends in the middle and has a checkered grip on the end that twists. We didn't go over that in Intergrad, so it must not be important. I could ask someone what it is, but since I've been here 6 years, I know everything. I'll just ignore it all day and see what happens. Oh, .

Dude the ebrake was up did you read what i wrote it just didnt hold

You need to work on not being a dick.

That's not going to happen
Now go shovel some snow or milk a steer...

I see some more very hard life lessons in this guy's future.

How hard are you gonna make my lessons daddy?

Because you did not do a proper pretrip. Testing to make sure the parking brake holds is one of the things you are supposed to do in a pretrip.

@Cannedbrownie there is literally nothing any of us can tell you that can get your job back.

Move on and go be happy.

Most of us have been in situations where a supe or center manager got in our face about something. Our response to that is why many of us are still working. There is a time to be humble and recognize that you have to take what you have to take.

 

[Cannedbrownie]

You got mouthy to the person that was making the firing decision. You burned your bridge before you crossed it.

Unless you learned something from this, you will continue to be your own worst enemy. Judging by your replies here, I see no change.

And thats why our union isn't strong because of stupid methods like that.. you mean to tell me its ok to talk to your employees any kind of way just because you got their livelihood in your hands... then just get rid of the union if you belive you will make it with out them.. cause some of you guys would be on hands and knees with for that money.. trust me i can tell by these comments that's why im thinking some of you guys gotta be managment or something because if yall were teamsters you would be soaking this information to enlighten other teamsters but instead you fools are on here for mockery

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

So its cool to throw a whole contract out the window because i defended myself.. no matter how it's looked at its the same accident.. so should have been same results a lenghty suspension.. you got guys getting jobs back from dishonesty where they were caught red handed lying isn't dishonesty a cardinal sin too

You are missing the entire point here

A roll away is a big no no.

Not complaining someone told me about this site and said ask some questions on here.. but i see this site is full of butt kissers so i guess I'll move along boss.. but if you guys on here are drivers or part time just remember the company don't love you they will get rid of you like you're nothing so make the money dont let it make you

 

[Cannedbrownie]

Good way to destroy an E brake. No wonder it didn't hold.

Well company methods

No, it's not okay. But if it's bad enough*, you stay calm and file a grievance later.

*You have to choose your battles, too. This is one battle where saying "Yes, sir, won't happen again" would have been an excellent idea.
