[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 897707, member: 12508"] I don't get the Holiday Inn reference. Enlighten me. On the Powerpad deal, if UPS did it, so can FedEx. The GPS in my smartphone "knows" where I am, and so does the PowerPad, if and when they enable the GPS. Perhaps someone who does know a lot about electronics can explain whether or not a motion sensor can easily be linked between a PowerPad and the vehicle. You are obviously speculating about the feasibility of doing this, and that's fine. Speculate away....you're quite good at trying to create scenarios wherein FedEx has no liability. How about the push for productivity? Are you saying that safety isn't be compromised by overloading couriers and implicitly threatening their jobs if they don't "perform"? I know at Station 1, everything runs perfectly, but out here in the real world there are managers collapsing routes all the time, even if there is no need to do so. Do you deny that? If an employee (especially a new one) knows that an OLCC is waiting when they don't run at 100% or more, how are they going to react? Maybe they really need the job, so they push the safety envelope, which isn't very forgiving since they're so green. I know, you don't think it's fact, but it is. Perhaps you ought to come out into the field and see how stations really run. [/QUOTE]
