He flipped out on me
My truck broke down last week and the supervisor shows up and tells me it’s MY fault because I did not do a good enough pre-trip. What happened was my other idiot supervisor strapped down a tire onto the catwalk and the strap broke, wrapped around my driveline and then tore up all my airlines. I told her it wasn’t me that did that. She then FLIPS out on me gets in my face and says that she doesn't need my attitude WHAT?!!!. The whole time I tried to get her to calm down but she wouldn’t. Guess I made her look bad. I told my boss about it and basically he said that I might be fired because I screamed at her and refused to listen. I did NOT scream. What the hell am I going to do now? Can he actually fire me over something that was not my fault??! Help!!!!
After 30 years of professional driving I have to say, you the driver are responsible for making sure everything in,onand around your truck is safe and secure before you move the truck an inch. That being said you made a mistake which in no way allows someone else to be abusive to you. No matter what the outcome of this incident I would be looking for a better employer.
She never drove a truck and has no idea, tell her to go fuck herself
Contact the supervisor that put the tire and strap there in the first place. I had a spare tire come off from under the trailer. Lady behind me ran over tire, luckily cleared underside of her car. She was a former truck driver. Pa. state police officer ran interference so I could backtrack and pick up the tire.
No need to work in them conditions.... there are plenty of jobs
It was your fault , period ! Your truck , your trailer . YOU ARE 100 % at fault for ANYTHING that's put on it ! PRE TRIP INSPECTION ! Did the strap have corner protectors? If not , illegal tie down ! NEVER EVER LET ANYONE ADD OR PUT ANYTHING ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR UNIT ... DO IT YOURSELF ! You need to read up on load securement for flatbeds if you are going to be putting things on your step plate . NEVER , NEVER USE BUNGY CORDS FOR TIE DOWN AS THEY HAVE NO TIEDOWN RATINGS !
Always when dealing with office people like that put your cell phone so it records conversation and you dont tell your recording cover your ass
Three words my friend HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT OR SEXUSL HARASSMENT you may be fired but either of them two statements a lawyer will tare them up in court and win also file wrongful termination suite and guaranteed some bosses be fired most terminal managers and safty and dispatch think they can talk or treat drivers how ever they want to they cannot I'd talk with lawyer now get things rolling and see what the lawyer says but you I good position now to teach that company a good lesson
Always take pictures. A mechanic will always back you up
You are responsible just for the simple fact that your suppose to inspect your truck and making sure it is safe for travel,,, you should've inspected those lines and that securment device
Well it really was your fault because if you saw it an knew it was not right you should have redone it to make it right and safe, sorry, just apologies
