[QUOTE="quadro, post: 897694, member: 12850"] but you stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night? Which is all fine and good except we are talking about the powerpad, not the vehicle. Vehicle monitoring, as you've noted, is easy. Perhaps LTFedExer or another UPS driver can clarify but I'm pretty sure that the telematic device plugs into a base unit in the vehicle much like our trackers used to do. As the powerpad is in no way linked to the vehicle how would the powerpad know that it is even in the vehicle, let alone that the vehicle is moving? No I haven't heard about that but I've seen similar situations where a driver loses their DOT qualification. The only ones that I've seen lose their job are the ones that refuse to do anything else. All of them were offered other positions that they could do and most of them chose one of those jobs. If someone loses their DOT qualification or cannot do the courier job for some other medical/physical reason, then they can't do the job. It's not like FedEx can say "we feel bad for you so we'll let you do the job anyway". I'm pretty sure that the only way to do this is to have a base unit in the vehicle but that's easy to bypass so even that's not foolproof. And it's not a fact, it's your opinion. No matter how much you'd like people to believe it to be a fact, saying it is doesn't make it so. [/QUOTE]
