Why are you so bothered by this?
Not wanting to sound a ass but i'd just keep my nose out, if he's had 2 lucky escapes then at some point your boss will get shot of him?
He is a lazy,ignorant,moron with his favourite quotes being,"Not my problem" and "I don't care"Not wanting to sound a ass but i'd just keep my nose out, if he's had 2 lucky escapes then at some point your boss will get shot of him?
The amount of times us other drivers have to put right his failures pisses me right off.
Maybe i should just look for alternative employment as i don't enjoy my time there.
You are right in that i poke my nose into stuff but the whole company is so sloppy someone has to.

I know when I used to deliver full loads of beer/juice/tinned food to supermarkets, wheeling pallets to the back doors of a 45' rail container was nigh on impossible if you didn't leave your keys in the ignition, as the suspension on the unit would raise so high the slope on the trailer meant it was sometimes impossible to control a heavy pallet. That's just an example of why we sometimes found it necessary to leave the ignition on.
What unit? All our Volvos you set the height on the remote then hold it at that, then take keys out, lock door etc.. As the weight comes off it the unit dumps air to keep it at the level you set.

That's the job of the managers though surely? Your just a driver not management.The amount of times us other drivers have to put right his failures pisses me right off.

I do agree the driver sounds a bit of a tit though, most sloppy lazy staff have woken up to the fact that another job is going to be hard to get and sorted themselves out.

OP, if this issue is not your responsibility then I would advise stepping back from the situation.
If this guy already has a poor employment record yet management choose to keep him, then stirring the pot will possibly earn you a reputation as a trouble maker.
I know from experience that management like to keep the status quo as they don't want the hassle of dealing with problems, often leading them to "shoot the messenger" when things blow up.
You sound like a sensible guy who wants to do his best and expects everyone else should do the same, this I am afraid is unrealistic. Eventually given enough rope this driver will make a collossal cock up and be dismissed, without your input. I sound cynical but this is very often the way things work.
Playing Devils Advocate, does this person have issues in his personal life that are making him behave this way? If he does and management are aware and giving him some slack then you aren't going to do youself any favours by "picking on him".
