slap on the wrists sounds like what all should come.
we got rear ended, three of us all lit in a car, by a pizza delivery kid. he was younger. we pulled over and checked it out. the kid offered $30 coupon for mistake, which we gladly accepted, and drove off.
maybe pizza delivery be more of your forte. JUST KIDDING

Today I woke up to a bunch of missed called and texts from some of the senior drivers and they said not to worry and that if they do try to terminate me, I would be able to fight for my job and win easily.
I feel a lot better today!

Yeah man I think you'll be ok, you've been with UPS for three years and your union.... I know guys at my work who've totalled Semi trucks with a full load and still kept their jobs.
The product alone on the truck was worth like 20 k and that shit was everywhere inside the trailer.
We're union too.

Well tomorrow I will find out my fate. I am like 90% sure I might get off with only a warning I talked with my center manager here and he said he couldnt confirm anything but since this is my first ever incident with the company and I have been a good employee for so long, I will more than likely get a warning.
This is a huge relief since on Friday they said I could either be fired OR get a 1 year suspension from driving. So by getting off with just a warning would be a-fuckin-mazing!
I think what happened is they looked at the telematics and determined that I did everything right except turn my wheels. They can literally see how fast im going, whether I wear a seat belt, if my cargo door is open, if my parking brake is on, if Im using my diad while the car is in gear, etc. Its crazy how close they can watch you while you drive.
But my fingers are crossed and if I do only get a warning, shots are on me! (*One day only, you travel to me)

But would it really be your fault? Don't they have mechanics or someone to check the state of the truck daily before you leave for your route?
At least that's how it works at my dad's job, even though he works with roll offs I imagine it should be the same.
Best of luck anyways

They do routine maintenance but they cant check every car every single night to make sure everything is working perfectly. We the drivers have to fill out a report every night saying if the car has any problems or if its ok. And if we write something down like "Parking brake too loose" then they will look into it that night.
And sadly, one of the mechanics at our center was killed in a train accident last month so we only have one mechanic working on 30+ cars

That sounds like a mechanical problem, which isn't your prerogative. Hopefully they see that. Ever sniff out any goodies in your truck b4?
