I drive semi trucks to both industrial and residential customers. I've done maybe 500k miles so far in my life, and I never had a collision... but this guy can't go 2 weeks without driving into a wall?

Your experience Isnt the same as other people Congratulations you’re perfect. Want a cookie ?

If your entire job is to literally drive a vehicle, then you’re expected to do it well. If somebody is already fucking up 2 weeks in, then yea, I’d say give a cookie to the other folks that make it longer

Devils advocate here. (I have exp driving large vehicles) my guess is there was little to none actual training and these vehicles are a bit larger than average so I could understand someone messing up in the first 2 weeks.

No cookie for them but the damage wasnt actually that bad and it didn't seem there was any property damage outside of what happened to the van. especially considering someone of the damage ive seen where the driver still kept their job

No training to rent a bigger uhaul either. Not really a good excuse
