And you. Great advice. Remember: he rides with him. FFS.

You are not a trainer. You can point it out but its not your job to follow up on him. Just lay back and go with the flow while your DUI clears.

Exactly what I'm wondering. As bad as this new guy might be, he's still better than the guy with no license.

Deranged lunatic
Oops, sorry. I'm trying my best.

Lol, not really snitching if he's unsafe and doing things that could get both him and that driver in a dangerous situation.
Seems like casting stones might not be a good idea in this situation... Lol.
At least the new guy still has a license.
I hope you have a seasonal helper this year.

Lol...I love when UPS drivers have that holier than thou attitude about other companies drivers- then you see
like this. UPS drivers are just as unsafe as any other courier. Most aren’t safe, just lucky.

Overall safety was my #1 concern, with efficiency and productivity being a distant second and third. Example 1. Parking in the middle ( median) of a 2 lane road to make a delivery that was on the passenger side to begin with.
Nosing into driveways and backing out in my building repeatedly over the course of even one workday most often results in a face to face conversation with management the following morning as that not only shows up but STICKS OUT on a telematics report. Not only do the bosses see that, but it's possible even people higher than that have access to the data.
It's your call, but if it were Me and it was really my delivery area and my customers and thus my and their safety potentially at stake, I'd say something now. If you don't and something bad happens, management might blame you regardless especially if they go back and look at the data accumulated up to that point and declare you should have spoken up to correct him all those times.
If you're worried about being labeled a snitch by some coworkers, don't be. If this dimwit driving your truck on your route backs over some 8 year old kid, it's gonna stay with you a heck of a lot longer than any other hourly complaining behind your back or to your face that he/she thinks you ratted somebody out.
I left a helper miles away from his car years ago when he simply refused to comply with putting on the seatbelt. Did I get some flak initially for it? Sure, but the sups try to find fault regardless so I didn't care. They receive the training and agree from the outset to follow the methods. They break that agreement? Then it's on them.
If his methods are bothering you all day and everyday, that isn't good for your long term mental health and potentially your physical health either if he screws up at exactly the wrong time. Why should you be trapped in a conflicted state for weeks on end? Make him their problem instead of strictly just yours because he should be their problem and not yours.

I once had a brand new on car sup do that on a safety ride. A few minutes later he nearly ran a red light. He was rotated somewhere else not long after that. I can laugh about it now.

Imagine a guy with a dwi talking about your driving? Can you imagine how hard management is gonna laugh in his face when he snitches this rookie out?
