wanting input- the PREVENTABLE 'incident' letter

It seems like almost everyone in this thread didn't read the whole story.

He didn't get fired for curbing a tire.

He got fired because he admitted to backing up on a public roadway without police assistance when he called to report the tire.

 

But then he got a letter. About an accident. Pertaining to the tire.

 

Because mega.

 

^^what they said^^

 

Hold on to that thought til you're done. Friend used to work for them. He had 2 such minor incidents and there were no questions asked. When he left, they were reported on his DAC.

 

What does the backing up without police present policy they have mean?

 

I bet the NYPD would love it if we all called them every time we need to stick it in the R hole.

That's just cray

 

Well.....I would not worry about how it is worded. Its only 1. You're inexperienced and things like this are expected to happen. Its all a learning experience. Don't have a meltdown, just relax and assess every turn. Next company on the radar is..... .

 

Schneider has got to be the most anal overly analytical trucking company in the country. They are like working for a nit picking Air Force engineer type aunt. Screw Schneider move on.

 

(Note to self):
Start cataloging various damaged tire pics from the interwebs for story-time back up.
