What happen to all the tough talking you did on here?

Did you get skeered?

The ability to absorb training is lacking in your case.

You want constant reminders and constant training.

How about you grow up and be a man.

being a man is saying I need :censored2:ing reminders about the 7000 things we have to remember and develop into habits. it takes a man to admit he needs help. I'm not out here just for me, I have to protect the public. this isn't just me bitching. this is :censored2: i need to know.

I did something stupid and negligent, UPS better change their training and make a little sign above the hand brake for all their package cars reminding people to tighten their break.

Good luck at McDonald’s, hopefully they have a sign reminding you not to stick your hand in the frier.
they have signs for everything else. everyone says how dumb 22.4 drivers are, we are rushed through a week of "training" on a fake camp and a few city blocks and get shoved straight into peak. if I didn't have my brake up, it would be all on me, but it was up and that night I was showed how to tighten and check it. my classmate said he was shown that months after driving. this could have killed me and others. how is that not a big deal? why is it such a problem I wanted information this important to do my job safely? the ebrake is supposed to buy u time in the event of a brain fart like not engaging park fully. that part completely on me.

Go through due process and we'll be hoping that you get back to work asap.
Everyone on here has has an Oh Crap minute. Some on here seem calloused and just fire off at newbies because theyve heard and lived it 50 times already.
Dont give up.

if the union won't, I won't. on the scene, my sup said he was just getting ready to call me to tell me how good I was doing. I'm :censored2:ing good. I've put everything into this. this :censored2: is some freak stupidity. but, I have an entirely new awareness.

thanks, this is encouraging. I can't tell you how much it would be easier to just take all the blame. but there are some things that caused this I really didn't know and needed reminders on that let this happen. I could be locked up indefinitely if someone was hurt or worse. and ups would have forgotten I even existed. any of us.

Checking your e-brake is part of your pre trip.

so, let me ask. what other secret or less popularized methods should I know about? I'm not the brightest sob on the planet so, shoot.

honestly if youre not able to figure out that theres a knob on the end of the parking brake that clearly turns with ease then i dont think driving is for you. nobody told me how but you can clearly feel it turns its obvious

I agree, he is upset he lost his job. It’s understandable. He should be relieved that truck didn’t kill anyone rolling away.

I am glad such a dangerous driver is off the streets.
Lucky you didn't kill anyone with your roll away.

no its not obvious that im supposed to twist anything other than the gas cap. we were told any issues only report to mechanics, not tighten or loosen anything.
