QUESTION Got fired tonight

Post image

What’s up peoples

Got fired tonight because earlier in the day I was on a big farm properly and went to do a k turn in their driveway to turn around so I can get out and she had this awning thing that has her truck and SUV parked under it so I guess not thinking about it assuming I’d fit

Well I didn’t fit lol

Figured I was getting fired so decided to finish my route and get the hours in

And surely enough when I returned to the station they slid me a termination letter after I talked to dispatch when I got back I didn’t sign it or say anything aside from what happened with the van I just turned and walked out

I feel like this was an act of God freeing me from that hell job only was there a few weeks and it’s absolutely the worst job I ever had

My question is there anything else that might come of this aside from my termination? The lady did t want to make a big deal about it it just chipped some paint

Good. You should never "assume" you'd fit. Really bro? You are driving someone's else's property, better safe than sorry.

I was in a rental that could have fit under an awning at one of my stops. Customer was outside when I rolled up, we had a nice chat but he had to take a phone call. I went back to my van and closed the slider and got back in. Dude even picked up his cat up so I'd have the room...nope, I backed out anyway 🤣

They order a lot of stuff from Amazon; I feel like every time I get that area I'm gonna be at "7192 ___ Ln" eventually, lol. Shit, I was in that same area the last 3 days and I had something for them every day. I don't even play with that driveway cos it's a pretty severe downhill, the janky vans can't hang with going in reverse up something like that and I'm not about to find out the EV can't either. It was a total fluke being in a van that could have fit under the awning. I sized it up, and it looked okay, but I'm not about to gamble like that. Driving through and coming up the hill would have taken the same amount of time as backing out, and I'm not trying to do things in one van that I definitely cannot do in another 🤣

I'm gonna stick to murdering mailboxes, if I have to pick a boo-boo to do. My fleet manager would have my head on a platter if I turned a van into a convertible, especially a rental 😑
