Someone that has been with the company 25yrs I would expect to have more respect for a brother. Amazing how heartless some people can be.

Pretty sure that’s common practice in any police involved shooting.

nowhere special
Only thing unusual was so many cops involved. They always get taken off the street after a shooting.

I just wanted to say that I am so very sorry. He did not deserve it.

It is.
Thanks, I think the first one I saw was from someone in NY. It might have been that one that I was leery about. I know the other one is from the brother.

Why do you suppose that is? We can get 15 messages a day about being safe, staying focused, the last stop is the most important, crashes other drivers have in other parts of the district that have nothing to do with my day, and whatever other stupid S* they send out but they can't tell people about this.
Why is the feeder driver killed in a wreck, or the tug drivers killed by recklessness, or the driver who was taken hostage and killed on his first day after being released by his FTO not spoken of? They don't even talk about dog bites anymore.
And the poor guy that cut cur in half in Staten island!

Honestly, if it wasn't for BC, I would have never seen the story about Frank Ordoñez since I rarely get to see the news. Eventually I would have seen the story but not right away. Even if the details are graphic or the facts aren't all in, UPS should at least say, "hey we lost a driver today from a wreck or a driver was killed from an act of crime."And the poor guy that cut cur in half in Staten island!

I brought the Staten island driver last year and that we want to say anything about it

...Until the car pulls into a mall and the perps run inside where the helicopter cant see them. They had already shot the owner of the jewelry store. Once they got jammed up in traffic they opened fire on the police. I dont know what else the cops could have done.

How?
You are going to try to do a PIT maneuver on a 10,000 lb package car with duallies? In a patrol car?
Dude give it up. The cops flubbed up.
There are reports from the helicopter that the UPS driver was visible between the two seats. I had maybe thought they didn't communicate that, and they thought the driver had jumped out or something. We will never know.
Generally speaking, you keep some distance.
They made it a point saying cops lives are more important than anyone elses, with their actions.
