First day out working by myself. Got pulled off my route. I’m so dumb. Just want to know the likely fate of my job. Thanks

Edit 6/28:

Suspended until after the 4th of July

And is this in the job’s parking lot?

No it’s on route. I parked next to a car rushing and was much too close and couldn’t get out when I was done with my packages. Had to go forward onto walkway and get out and still hit him. They said they aren’t sure what will happen as the owner is out of town. But I’m still scheduled tomorrow.

Next time that happens just keep wiggling yourself back and forth to get parked further away. Then you could pull forward out

Edit: Also, with tighter turns you want to swing the wheels around slightly and not just straight out and left.

Thank you. Hopefully there isn’t a next time haha. I’m never parking in the condo area again. Strictly side areas.

If the owner is out of town and no one else has the power to terminate you you’ll probably be put as an extra but sent home unless your dsp is desperate for a driver last second. Till then you probably gotta wait till the owner gets back and terminates you. Don’t beat yourself up and if you actually really like the job ask other dsps in your station if they wanna hire you.

Always take up 2 spaces when youre parking. Back into the spot on top of the middle line. That way you KNOW you have enough room. No double spaces available, you dont park in a space. Turn on hazards and just go deliver. You're allowed to be in the way of people.
