LoopDeco Driver Strike System

Strike 1 – Warning

  • Purpose: Alert driver to behavior that violates priorities; opportunity to correct.

  • Examples:

    • Minor communication issues (e.g., responding late to a customer message).

    • Small unprofessional behavior (e.g., forgetting to wear a company shirt).

    • Slight delays (less than 15 minutes) without notification.

Action: Verbal or written warning; driver must acknowledge and review priorities.


Strike 2 – Probation

  • Purpose: Driver must correct behavior immediately; repeated issues escalate consequences.

  • Examples:

    • Arriving late to multiple pickups without notifying customers.

    • Failing to properly secure or handle furniture, causing minor damage.

    • Disrespectful behavior toward a customer (even if not severe).

Action: Formal probation for a defined period (e.g., 30 days). Driver must demonstrate improvement; repeat offenses escalate to Strike 3.


Strike 3 – Termination

  • Purpose: Immediate removal from the driver roster for serious or repeated violations.

  • Examples:

    • No-show for a pickup without any notification.

    • Major property damage due to negligence.

    • Theft or unauthorized removal of items.

    • Severe unprofessional conduct (aggressive or threatening behavior).

    • Repeated violations of strikes 1 or 2 within the probation period.

Action: Termination from LoopDeco driver program.


Notes for Drivers

  • Each strike is documented with date, incident details, and any customer feedback.

  • Strikes reset after [e.g., 6 months] of consistent good performance.

  • Immediate termination may occur for severe single incidents.
