"Garry" you might consider not posting pics of yourself unless you don't mind being identified on here. Some don't care, but some also sound like teachers pets so it doesn't really matter to them.

You have to be more careful

don't stress...the no accident in a year is a prequalification to win the bid...now if you have an accident in the package car of any kind they can DQ you...After you were awarded the bid with the exception accidents or tickets or a DUI it will depend on Area Supplement like in Atlantic Area 3 accidents in 9 months etc.

I guess the new requirement in my area is any Tier 3 accident is a termination and has to be taken to the state panel. We have a 24 year safe driver sitting out right now.

I think they try that everywhere, but the CBA doesn't call a single Tier 3 a cardinal infraction. only recklessness resulting in serious accident while on duty. Recklessness is a subjective term and the burden would be on UPS to prove. Of course 3 accidents in a 9 month period is reason for discharge here, but we had a driver have 3 major ones in less than 7 months and he just went back to the building for a week then back on the road.

Was a citation issued to the driver?

3 Tier 3's in 1 year will get you a 22.3 job here.

Don't know, but I doubt it. I do believe the truck had to be towed in.
