[QUOTE="dilligaf, post: 531114, member: 11476"] Sorry Hef, but I am going to pick on you a little. It's not you specifically but what you said. I can imagine that this is probably more of a common practice then most will care to admit to. Seeing your speedometer and knowing your speed [B][U]IS[/U][/B] part of S & V. Every time you scan your area (while driving) in front of and behind you (mirror to windshield to mirror to windshield to dash to windsheild) you should be 'seeing' your speedometer. You should know what your speed is. It is funny that this topic should come up. Thank you to the OP. I had the exact same situation occur today. My OC thought I should have gone through a lite that I knew, from experience, I would not have made it through. Although his words were far kinder the intent was the same. My response was to just look at him. I did not let him get to me. And as far as my driving goes he (nor any other sup/mgr) will ever get to me. I have been driving for a very long time, commercially. I am very confident in my driving skills and no sup will ever get away with telling me that I should go faster or cheat a lite. I am the driver responsible. If I have a sup that thinks his way is better than he can certainly have the keys and do the driving himself. Of course that will automatically negate the 3 day OJS. :happy-very: As a side note, this is the first time in 3 years of driving FT for UPS that I have ever had a 3 day punch to punch OJS. Sober...... If he instructs you to drive at a speed that you do not feel is safe, [-]agree to do so only if he will put it in writing that you will not be held responsible for any accidents that occur by doing so[/-] hand him the keys and tell him that if he wants this truck to go any faster then he will have to do the driving. TheOCbaby.............if some one wants to drive under the speed limit, sure I will bitch and complain and pass if I get a chance. Aside from that, I will back off and just go with the flow. Life is to damm short and the risks are to damm high. I like the term 'safely aggressive', thanks Upstate, you have added a new catch phrase to my repertoire. Helen, I would be filing harrassment on that so fast. It is threatening and intimidation. It is a hostile act. [/QUOTE]
