What’s type of system is used by UPS to determine who is due a safety ride in feeders? There are some feeder drivers that haven’t had a safety ride in 5 or more years and some drivers are told they are due a ride by mgt based on a quarterly system.
That's the way they get them done here when there's actually not near enough on roads to give a ride to even a fraction of us.In my experience, they usually pick the local guys to ride along with because they don’t like being in the tractor all day. One or two trips to the rail yard and they’re done with you versus being in the tractor for 9 hours.
The two guys who had early start times were always random here. Got so obvious even the guy who came to do the testing would say"you again"?A feeder driver friend of mine seemed to be the one chosen all the time for a random drug test. You would think they believed he had a problem but just the opposite was true. He was one who never drank or did drugs so they would pick him to save their asses a bunch of paper work.
I can't speak for feeder but in package the company has hired a 3rd party company to tell them who is most at risk to have a injury or accident. This company takes everything into account. Previous accidents and injuries, lytx camera events. Hell from what I'm told even credit history. Then this company ranks you into 4 tiers. The highest tier receives quarterly rides 4 times a year. The lowest tier gets one every 2 years. To my knowledge this issue was brought to national panels and ruled in the company's favor.Interesting.
Not one consistent answer.
It depends on the sup. But yes. It’s way easier in feeders though since you’re not doing a drill AND trying to find an address at the same time. Just mirror clearing going down the highway.Do they make you do the driver drill in feeders? I hate that nonsense in package. I had a ride along with my sup last month, on the way back to center he says, “Alright I want you to do the driver drill.” I just said, “No I’m not doing that.” He looked at me with bewilderment but said nothing. It’s stupid, all you’re doing is distracting me.
I have been told they use an algorithm based on many factors, even including age it is my understanding the international disagrees with the algorithm usage.What’s type of system is used by UPS to determine who is due a safety ride in feeders?
