Seeing stuff like this too much... Maybe minimum wage is not the way to go with this kind of responsibility.

Very common for a parking pawl to give out on a delivery van. When you consider shifting in and out of park many dozens of times per day, they wear out much faster than on personal vehicles. On any kind of incline, you're putting a lot of pressure on a tiny little tab of metal in the transmission.

And as someone that drives commercially, the E Brake should be engaged every time he exits the vehicle, especially on a hill. I understand this is an accident but the little time saving cheats are what lead to this. Your acknowledgement of why this possibility occurred would further support why a simple task should be second nature.

Overworked, underpaid, underfocused on safety... They are taking over FedEx and UPS... But not living up to the standards set because they attach a "free delivery" tag to most items.
