Truck driver for my sister company shot and killed while making delivery.

Recommended Posts

This is really sad news to hear. Not sure of any of the details yet as word is just getting out. We don't have a name yet so we do not know if it was a white, black, Latino, or Asian driver. Could have been a robbery but not sure why they would go after a delivery driver. They do not carry any cash with them. Hopefully they will have more information in the next few days.

Was he a nice guy. Seems super random for a food delivery truck. About as random as it gets.

No details have been released yet. Random indeed.

Looks like it could be a part time gas station as well.

Hopefully this and all the BLM nonsense causes OTR drivers to refuse to deliver to sh1thole cities.  Starve these fockers out.

Such a nice area. spirits store, pawn stars shop, Cash America, Cricket premiere phones and a rustic chicken establishment. Hate seeing this happen in these picturesque towns. I tell ya, the country is ripping at the seams.

We are instructing our drivers to drive past these situations (if they can determine there is a threat such as protesters) and we can redeliver at some other point if necessary. No delivery is worth more than a drivers life.

Yes- bizarre. Not sure the tv news ever spit out the entire story- they seldom do these days- I only got the headline and fragments of the story.

Yeah. The guy was black and it sounds like at least some of his victims were white. No biggie.

You should instruct your drivers to drive through these situations at a high rate of speed while keeping low inside the cab and serving side to side.

I just wanted to offer my condolences. I know you didn’t know this guy but it’s sad he was killed on the job. I hope his killer is found and convicted and you stay safe.
