[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 684500, member: 18471"] Accidents ARE part of the business, I'm sure UPS and many other companies have all kinds of statistics about accidents. X# of drivers with X# of years of experience will have accidents.That's why a lot of trucking companies will only hire drivers with 3 or more years of experience. Other companies like UPS train their own drivers, there is a large shortage of tractor-trailer drivers so to get drivers they have to train them and are usually self insured. I'm sure they have statistics on how many of them have accidents. How many of those circle of honor drivers had an accident in their early careers? I'm sure some of them will also admit a bit of luck was involved. A few months ago on this forum was a link to a trucking magazine article about feeder on road supervisor training, if I recall correctly the numbers in the article worked out that UPS drivers have about 1/2 as many accidents per 100,000 miles as other trucking companies. So are we safe drivers, yes, but sometimes there are accidents. Just like there are gonna be X# of missorts, etc. [/QUOTE]
