[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 570782, member: 6408"] What seems to be the point of firing is this: The driver left the van RUNNING! Locked gates or not, this is a hot button now for UPS. "Keys in" is not allowed here for saftey reasons. "Vehicle running" without driver being in control is not allowed here for safety reasons. Lately, too many people have been hurt or killed from running, keys in or just plain reckless moves, so the company is taking (I presumed it was company-wide) stance that no running, unattended vehicles or any with keys in that could be started and run by an unauthorized person. Now, is it enforced everywhere? Of course not. Here, (and again, I have to emphasize, HERE) warning letters, but no firings, have been given out for keys in. BUT, on the other side of the building, package cars, especially diesels, have been left running all night outside until they are brought in during the cold. I guess that OK! A 26,000 pound package car can't kill you, I guess. [/QUOTE]
