Yep- You are right about the 'firing' part. I spent 25 years at night driving tractor-trailer for UPS and we were forbidden to stop and help anyone with anything. One guy stopped and picked up a couple of owner/operators that were stuck in a snow storm on I70, the company found out and fired him. They once fired a 'package driver' after a motorist rear-ended him at a stop sign; their reason was "He shouldn't have been there at that time"!
I did stop a few times to help motorists on my run and, invariably, the person would want to know how to contact my boss so they could make sure he knew about my 'good deed'. I would tell them that what I had done was against company rules and if they really wanted to return the favor to me to 'just forget it ever happened'! Earlier this week on the news I saw a report where a UPS driver had saved a family from a house fire and then put out the fire with a garden hose and the reporter called him a 'selfless hero'. Knowing that outfit as I do I expect that he was either fired or given time off without pay! :twisted:
