Tractor Roll. Not setting brakes

[Clandestine_ice]

Just curious if failure to set your breaks and minor damage occurs and you don't report this, is that an automatic termination? Don't get too excited, it wasn't me

[Richard Cranium]

Pretty much any unreported accident is automatic way to "make yourself available to the industry".

I would think that to be true but people at my barn have been getting away with crazy crap lately

I think a roll away is automatic termination. Not reporting danger is automatic termination.

Maybe things have changed now but awhile ago we had a fella let his truck get away from him. It crashed into another causing moderate damage to both trucks and he kept his job. Although I would think that not reporting an incident would be grounds for termination.

I'll let y'all know

A roll away is not an automatic termination (at least it didn't used to be a year or so ago). It is a critical accident...three years probation.

Not reporting an accident is an automatic termination.

I'm probably wrong on the roll away. Just what I've always been told. I've never known anyone that did it.

We had a guy have a roll away and then a week later dropped a trailer and didnt report it. Then about 15 months later he hit a tree branch and caved in the front of the trailer about a foot. He is still with us. We just had a guy quit that never got fired,here is everything I know he did in a years time-- customer tipped a trailer because he didnt put the nose stand down,dropped trailer on street in front of terminal,buried tractor in the lawn in a hotel he was delivering too and had to be pulled out,ripped the steps off of a tractor, ran out of fuel in the yard and then went home while somebody else moved it out of the way,got banned from a customer for being an a-hole,lied to a coworker to avoid taking a road run,sat after he was empty for two hours because his intermec had no pickups or messages before he decided to call, this isnt nearly all of it. And he lasted two years.

Good lord! I presume all city drivers. No offense to city drivers but it's commonly known city guys can get away with a hell of a lot more crap than road for some reason.
