That’s Craptacular
UPS is refusing to claim responsibilty, and it was caught on video. Imagine how SOL this girl might have been without the camera?

Didn't he leave after others stopped to help?

That was what I heard. He waited until other people were there helping her. He just didn't want to admit it was him that hit her.

Did he leave after receiving the OK to do so by law enforcement personnel or UPS management?

I was involved in a hit while parked a few months ago. I was not allowed to leave the scene until both my center manager and the police officer completed their paperwork. I simply coded the 30 minutes under Other Work.

He was a coward. He knew what he did & left her.

That's a bit harsh. Could it be that he simply panicked?

Other work what? You have to add a reason for other work.

I don't think so. People panic, I get that, but this is someone's daughter, someone's loved one. I would have stayed & comforted her the best I could.

A filthy mess inside. I never have time to clean it I get in so late. Lots of dusty industrial roads, its terrible in and out. I used to do one section a day and my windows, to try to keep it fairly clean, now its just a

And when the windows get washed they use dirty water making it worse than if they did nothing. The preload called my loop the pig trucks because of the areas we has to drive in they got filthy withing a few minutes of leaving the building. Industrial with gravel parking lots were the worst for dust.

Oh yeah...between the road salt and sandbags this winter..there'll still be sand inside the trucks in july. But not allowing cleaning supplies to keep windows clean is just stupid.A filthy mess inside. I never have time to clean it I get in so late. Lots of dusty industrial roads, its terrible in and out.

I went in for about an hour Saturday morning to make sure everything was set for the rollout of our expanded recycling program Monday morning. I went through the package cars and was blown away at how filthy some of them were. Yes, some of our drivers work in some dusty and dirty areas, but much of what I saw cannot be blamed solely on that. To put it bluntly, some of my co-workers are slobs who I wouldn't want to have come to my house. I hope my loader appreciates the fact that I am a neat freak. : )

I noticed in another thread your to-do list is short, but Saturday at work is crazy. You must really be bored(sp).

Yes and no. Once a month or so I help unload my pickups and will then run a hose through the cab and cargo area of the pkg car. Our facility has drainage built in to the floor which has a water/dirt separator. I wash the windshield when I refuel and our car wash does the exterior several times a week. I do the inside windows as needed.
I was asked to run EAMs a while back and the pkg car was so filthy that I wrote it up on the DVIR----"This pkg car is a pig sty!!". It was cleaned the following day.
