Hi guys. I’m fairly new to this forum and UPS in general. I’ve just been completing training for package car driving and have worked at UPS for a total of about 6 months.
So recently (Wed. 11/22) I got in a minor accident in which a gutter that was sticking out at a little coffee shop got scraped and bent off it’s small support (apparently it happens there a lot). In total not much damage. Negligable on the rental truck and a cheap gutter had some damage. I understand UPS has a big thing on safety policy and everything involved.
That being said. I was expecting the bit of retraining and checks to make sure I was up to task and not forgetting something. And was expecting to go out on road with someone and to do a space and visibility check next week. But calling in this morning to ask what it was my supervisor wanted me to do she told me (seemingly in a rush) that essentially it was about enough to disqualify me for the season. Which took me by surprise.
Supposedly at some point I’m going in to discuss the matter soon, but I was hoping I could get some advice on the matter and what would be my best course of action if I wanted to stay on for this season. Or if that’s even a possibility which Seemed to be the case earlier. Besides this Incident I’ve driven well and have been performing all my work decently up to task and hadn’t had any real issues. I understand the problem and issues involved but I was surprised to hear my complete disqualification. Especially during this season.
I really hope I can get some good feedback and advice on the matter. And appreciate anyone taking their time reading this. Hopefully it all works out
Thanks -
