Preventable or Non Preventable? Help!

Well, Yooper,

This guy "Myth Buster" IS an expert!! After all, He's "been around" trucks and crane's, and he's probably "been around" railroad crossings, too!!
:P
BTW, you are a mod here; should we start up a "Dawn" and Myth Buster" Forum??

Seems they want to monopolize this one!!

Useless, your reply is uncalled for and just trying to start trouble. Everyone is posting good info and having a decent conversation!!!

No, Steve, You are wrong; MYTH BUSTER has jumped in once again with his infinite knowledge of "Cut and Paste", pretending to be the expert that he isn't, and all the while jumping to unfounded conclusions about what happened.

The original poster made no mention of being cited, but did state that as far as the police officer's observartions were concerned, this should not have been labeled a preventable. Given that, Myth Buster's points are not in keeping with the facts, although he seems to insist that they are somehow relevant.

We already have Yooper as a mod; we can do without your backseat moderator's expertise here!!

Hey let's not fight over it here!

The final word came in. His company has no clue! Come to find out, prior to my husband, they fired a guy who had been there 10 yrs for making a 15 minute mistake on his log that he gained nothing from. However, they kept a guy that actually killed a person with his truck.

So according to their supposed policy, they fired my husband who had been there 3 yrs, not because of the preventability of the thing, but because of the cost. They said their policy is any accident that costs them over $5000.00 is cause for termination. The box costs $4900.00 and to weld or install it brought the total to slightly over the limit. (The welding and labor really shouldn't have been included as it was done by their own repair crew. They only paid for parts.)

And, now that he is gone, they are calling him crying, asking his advise because the run that he did was a difficult one that they had not been able to get under control for years. My husband did it for 3 yrs without 1 customer complaint and now they are about to lose the customers entirely.

Sucks to be them.

Your husband should charge $3,000.00 per hour consultant fee with a minimum of 8 hours. The information is free, but the time and effort he put into gaining that knowledge insn't.

Or if they are that desprate, they can hire him back double his previous wages if not triple. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
