I hope the guy got charged with assault. Now he doesn't have a car, job, and plenty of fine's and court costs. I got no sympathy for em'. And all this "suppose" crap.... get real. I'm laid off, I sold my pot to **** in, if my car was broke down somewhere.....I could retrieve it in less than a day, not sure how i'd do it, but I'd get it done. Suppose he was asked to remove it numerous time's, Suppose the TM gave him every opportunity to get the car, and had no other recourse but to have the car towed, Suppose the guy's an ***, and that's why none of his co-workers called to warn him after 1/3 of a year that his car was being towed. Still doesn't justify assaulting someone. I could see this reaction say, if he was fired or quit, and the TM had his broke car towed with no warning the next day, but after four months....c'mon. :annoyed:

You know you should be careful in what you hope for,it might come back on you.However after all said and done.i hear he`s got his car and doing well.as far as being asked to remove it ,NEVER ONCE WAS HE ASKED TO MOVE HIS CAR!!!!! He never said it wasnt his responsibility to get the car off the property but like i said before and will say it again.ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF HE WOULD HAVE JUST SAID WHO AND WHERE THE CAR WAS!!!!

a better more civilized way to accomplish this would have been to contact law enforcement and ask them to escort him to the company property.

I am sure the TM would have complied

You don't think this guy may have been looking for a reason to get even with this TM huh?

Sirmillie, since you think all TM's are born of a jackal I wonder if, while he was alive, you would have walked up to Joe B and said that to his face!! I somehow don't think so. :loser:

I only see 1 Loser! here on this forum and it's you Trip, how could you have taken anything I posted seriously, Hello McFly, I kept thinking you'd figure out I was just yanking your (actually everybody's) chain but you're the one throwing the Hissy fit, Jeez dude get a life, it's the Internet for craps sake.

Well i`m sure he didn`t feel he needed it at the tme cause he wasn`t going there to make trouble.He was going to get his car and when he seen it wasn`t there he asked where it was and from that point the TM didn`t comply soooo,there can be plenty of what ifs and what he should have done but it still remains a fact that all could have been avoided if he just said who and where..it`s not a hard answer.
 
BoxBoss said:
I think that is a safe bet....So I will ask this question: was it worth it???

I think 4 months abandoned is a lot of flexibility...The TM was certainly more tolerant than I would have been...I would have called the guy after a week, and if no response, oh well..
Click to expand...

You might have called him after one week, but this TM hadn't called at all. He tried to kick the guy in the nutz one more time just for spite. To make it even worse, they almost succeeded in taking the man's car right from under him. Notice I say almost, the guy was too smart for them. He used the information super highway to locate the car and a lovely dame to retrieve it. As dumb as his actions may have seemed, he was smart enough to achieve his objective.

so you are telling me this guy had no friends at that terminal to tell him his car was gone...

I don't doubt for a second a TM can go on a power trip but is an assault charge worth it?

This is the kind of thing that could have escalated and somebody could be dead now...

I just hate to see people choose the low road when the high road is so much better for all involved.

ive been trying to keep quiet here but its getting tougher with every comment .
how about if the tm lied and said you resigned and it stuck after going to the beach to be heard by the board [as i heard it ] then you are losing your home and family . hmmmmmmmmmm .
then you find time to go pick up your broke down car and ask said tm "wheres my car did you have it towed " answer ya SOOO WHAT I HAD IT TOWED .whatcha gonna do?????? .
when is it that some1 gets pushed to a breaking point or grows a back bone and defends himself.
guess all the truck drivers on here are wearing skirts now days /well maybe its not right but ill take that over tucking my skirt into my panties and crying to my mommy.
If you have all had it so great at roadway/yellow that you havent been pushed by 1 of these clowns then great for you .
@ 120 stroudsburg having a super 2 inches from your nose screaming ,cursing you was a daily occurance and after all ive seen im surprised it hasnt happened more or even worse

I couldn`t have said it any better..You are so right.

Suppose the guy was never called to move his car?Suppose when the car was towed without warning,the tow truck company tried to get ownership of this car cause the owner was unaware the car was towed?Suppose if the company had called the owner and told him to remove his car,this all would have been avoided?Suppose that this wasn`t the first thing that has happened between the ex-employee and the TM that led up to this situation and suppose if the TM had let the ex-employee know where his car had been towed and by who,would have the same actions been taken?No one knows the full story but it`s safe to say that the out come would have been different if the situation was handled in a more proper manner.

This person did`nt know his car was there for four months??? Thats a long time to leave a abandoned car anywhere. Suppose this person would have moved his car? End of problem???

He had a few that he met but you don`t know the story.He was relocated to 681.He`d worked for them over 10 years and the people he did know or become friends with were laid off, so without saying,TM was on a power trip.There`s definitely more to this story and i`m sure somewhere down the road it will come out but believe me when i say,he`s far from a violent man and he`s only human.A person can only take so much and no one can say how they would react unless they have been through was he has.I am not a fan to violence nor do i like anyone who is.but i do have compassion for people who`s been done wrong .

I can understand him being upset but I still think he chose the wrong way to go about a resolution

I`ll settle this just go ask the TM why he didn`t say where his car was. Was he trying to push this guy over the edge?Was he looking to cause more problems for this guy?come on this could have been avoided just as much from the TM as well as the guy.
 
Ok. I guess I will chime in. I have been trying not to but you know me........First off, don't leave your possessions behind. Period. Second, if you leave something for that long than apparently you don't need it. Third, If confronted by an a** do not lower yourself to their standards. He could have easily done his research that was spoken of and got his car back without the confrontation. Fourth, people need to grow up and be held accountable for their actions. Being called names and someone talking snotty to you does not justify violence. Period. End of story.

The man is lucky he is not in a lawsuit because some people surely would have sued his a** for everything he does or doesn't have. And some people would also have pressed charges for assault.

Tell me again how smart he is.
 
I'm hoping to never to be in that type of situation...................But if I am, I have to remember those people are nothing to me and no one like that is worth that kind of time......
 
Was it worth it??? There is no azz whipping worth it especially if its something that doesn't belong to you. I would have had a car cover put on it to keep it from being towed. I know when I went overseas and had a cover put on my car they could not ticket or tow the car. The law may be different in some states.

I think if they really wanted to find this guy they could have. I bet that steak that TM was going to grill this weekend is now used on his black eye instead:shades:
 
Hmmm wonder how many of you will contribute money to the stupid guy for his lawyers fees? I know if I was the TM I would already have a lawyer filing the papers to go after everything this man has. And of course the police would have been called also and that man would have went to jail. Chances are the guy went straight up to the TM running his mouth about his car not being there and the TM wasn't taking that attitude and he shouldn't have too. So who here is gonna help the man who is gonna need the money huh????? Dude should have moved his car a long time ago. And at the very least went to the TM and very respectfully ask about his car.
I have worked as a dispatcher and had to deal with a lot of irrate drivers. All I can say is if you think you can handle things better I will gladly go back in that truck and let you have it. Needless to say nobody ever took me up on it. So yaw'll need to lay off the TM for doing his job.

I only see 1 Loser! here on this forum and it's you Trip, how could you have taken anything I posted seriously, Hello McFly, I kept thinking you'd figure out I was just yanking your (actually everybody's) chain but you're the one throwing the Hissy fit, Jeez dude get a life, it's the Internet for craps sake.

Well, I guess I learned something new today. A two sentence response to your comments is defined by you as a "throwing a hissy fit"! I didn't know that! I'll have to be more careful from here on in.

And the second thing I've just learned is that because it's the Internet, you can throw any kind of crap on it and then claim you're "yanking everybody's chain" when you're called out on it! I didn't know that either. Wow, learning never ends does it!
 
Bottom line is... It makes no sense to leave your car on company property for 4 months. Regardless of where you went. Leave it at home a friends or the church you are affiliated with.

What is confusing is the man having Christian values to give all the time to the poor, then coming home and assaulting the TM. Makes me think there is a lot we are not hearing.

Vwaggs, the story about the man giving time to the poor was originated by sirmille in an earlier post (see below).

sirmille said:
I agree common sense should have ruled the day and that TM should have known better than to tow that poor drivers car away. For Gods sake the man was in India for 4 months taking a leave of absence to help the poor. He returns to find his car towed and when he asked the TM the TM denies any knowledge of what happened to it. From what I've heard the driver only took a swing at the TM after the TM called him a Nancyboy and a Goody2Shoes. The driver never intended on actually hitting the evil minded TM but the TM lunged at him at the same time the driver swung with a right cross to the temple, sending the TM to the floor like a sack of potatoes. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, just remember all TM's are born of a Jackal and will spare no expense to cause any and all Teamsters pain & suffering.

Then in a later post smillie says the following about his own posts.

It looks to me like his credibility isn't just a zero, but more like a minus something!! :nutkick:
