[QUOTE="quadro, post: 897757, member: 12850"] The Holiday Inn reference was a joke. I take it you don't watch much tv. [MEDIA=youtube]wm-h7YR_410[/MEDIA] The GPS in your smartphone knows where you are relative to any other coordinate on earth. It doesn't know whether you are in a building, a car, etc. I would guess that if the GPS were active in the powerpad there may be a way to blank the screen if the powerpad detects that its relative position is changing at or above a predetermined rate. The downside to all this is exactly what you referenced earlier. Once the GPS is active, you can be tracked so employees are going to be mad about that. Either FedEx is the evil monster that tracks you or FedEx is the evil monster that doesn't care about safety because they don't track you. Safety is only compromised when someone chooses to compromise it. I don't have a problem hitting my goal so if my manager gives me more stops I just get more hours. If my manager tries to give me too many stops I tell him ok but plan on having someone get my outbound as I won't be back in time to make the CTV. I don't compromise my safety end of story. Do some people take risks? Of course they do otherwise there wouldn't be accidents. To say that a lot of people take risks is again an opinion. As for collapsing routes, sometimes it does make sense, sometimes it doesn't and some managers shouldn't be managers because they don't know how to manage. On that note, some couriers shouldn't be couriers because they don't know how to run a route. It doesn't make anyone a bad person, just not everyone is cut out for every job. [/QUOTE]
