Should a driver pay for leaving their keys inside the truck?

Here is the thing, I'm FAR from perfect, and as you well know in this business you handle tons of vehicles and keys a week, it IS going to happen, AND has happened to me, BUT, I never had the COMPANY pay for, I paid it out of my pocket and next time I was more careful. Now here is a question that I would like the others to answer, would you complain if I as the owner would have tapped the company till to pay for MY mistake? Think about that before you answer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Somewhere inside the battery box or behind the frame. Lots of places to hide a key especially with a zip tie.

 

they are independant contractors

 

Oh... that was a little misleading... of course they deal with their own mistakes then.

 

Just buy Volvos and you never will have this problem.

 

No thanks. I won't support the company that colluded with a few environmental nazis to try to outlaw gliders.

 

I think I would rather have this problem.

 

yeah, i cannot see Volvo sales escalating any time too soon.

 

Anyone issued a truck with electric door locks must have spare keys
I told the shop boss I park 65 miles from the shop and I need a spare key for the 2020 mack
He told me just use one from another truck but all you see here is hoods and we are in and out of the cab continuously
I made a couple in our little town and sure enough I was locked out while unloading but I got 2 more on my key ring for my pickup and I'm in business with no drama
Yes I paid 4 $ because I got experience with the electric locks
