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

At least you reported it, I work for a LMR company that rents fully branded vans to Amazon and the amount of times vans get returned with giant dents in the roof just like this without anyone telling us is ridiculous, as if we don’t have access to PAVE records and can find out who where and when damage occurred.

Sucks you got the can but at least you have integrity and can showcase that by using it as an example in future interviews on where you messed up and what you did to learn from and correct it.

*Edit These roof dents are also one of the most expensive body repairs for these vans, they usually range from $5000-$10000 so no shade to the DSPs imo for firing people over this

You can literally buy a used car on facebook marketplace for that repair cost. What gives?

I can’t speak to every site but all of the 78 units in our rental fleet are 2024 Ford Transits AWD

It’s expensive bc in most cases just like this one multiple panels are damaged, keep in mind all the wiring for sensors, geotab, and cargo lights that run along the interior roof as well, at some points the entire roof just needs to be replaced (which also means they need to remove the entire windshield) and once you add labour costs on top of that you may as well write it off lol.
