[QUOTE="soberups, post: 719797, member: 14668"] There is nothing at all wrong with trying to reduce backing. The problem starts when some guy behind a desk someplace pulls a random number out of his ass and proclaims that number to be the quota by which the total number of backs must be reduced. It is ignorant to assume that every driver has been backing up 4, or 7, or 10, times too many per day and to demand a reduction by some arbitrary number. The problem with the quota mentality is that instead of solving the [I]real[/I] problem of uneccesary or unsafe backs, the management team is expending its time and energy and credibility doing nothing but trying to manipulate a metric.
