STORY- Hurricane- Non preventable!

Ok ... this is fiction because no one is that ... well ... to go into a hurricane to get a truck.

Right?

The clue not to go should have been the warnings to evacuate.

As far as the accident, or what is actually considered "an act of god" tell your company to stick that up thier ***.

This was not a vehicle that fell under dot rules and regulations and has ZERO to do with driving a truck.

What makes it even worst is that the truck is insured for this, that company has to be either a bunch of cheap dipwads or doesn't care about their drivers.

Sorry if I hurt feelings with my comments but hell can't anyone see how dangerous this is to do over a stupid peice of metal?

 

Did your company actually say that the flooded rental was non-preventable?

I ask because that's a good thing, but the way you wrote it, it seemed like you believe it was a bad thing.

 

That's pretty clean compared to the one I picked up as a favor for the friend of mine that was hauled off to jail at the Iowa scales. I'm not kidding. That truck was horrible! There were chicken bones scattered all over the floor and what I think was a half-eaten fish. An absolute pig sty. I never went any further than the driver's seat and decided to drive back to our yard that night. No way was I sleeping in that truck. From the sound of things, though, yours smelled worse.

 

Call me hard headed in seeing this from the perspective that the company apparently does, which is that they suffered a loss and you were not responsible or at fault for that loss, and they said so. Would you be concerned if they put a safety award you received on DAC? Companies can and do put good things on DAC, not just bad.

 

So you/your company rented a car to get you there, and didn't pay an extra few bucks for the insurance?

How stupid is that, considering that you were going into a hurricane?

 

Only thing you can do is contact hire right explain it was a rental car and NOT a company vehicle and that you were not permitted to remove the vehicle from the path of the storm... Might work might not but also it's not something you need to worry about future companies may ASK about it tell the truth (or spin it about the recovery truck being broke down instead of to dirty to drive cause that may look bad to some companies yet I totally agree with you desire to not want to drive it) and they shouldn't bat an eye.

 

So my question is is this a good company to go to or not

 

Non-preventable should put zero blemish on your record. No charges. No reprimands. Nothing. If you could not have prevented it, they have no reason to bother you about it in any way.
