[QUOTE="MD Dan, post: 485936, member: 14028"] Somebody in Upper Mngmt will not be happy when they see what Telematics has wrot. The wonderful feeling of control will be bought at a terrible cost. In my own experience, the methods and safety edicts applied without any consideration for local conditions will cause an amazing loss of productivity. UPS likes to point out the High Cost of Union Labor but does not like to acknowledge the benefit of having highly motivated employees delivering parcels using their own brains quickly and safely. If you completely control a driver's day you cannot blame him (or her) for his (or her) performance Vs the standards set by IE. All drivers will be forced to "work to rule". Ups has always avoided this situation (for good reason) but will soon be forcing all THINKING drivers into working this way. When you are monitored this closely, you would be crazy to do anything else. I hope that I am wrong but I predict that this will be a productivity disaster for UPS. Sad to see the freedom to do the job right Vs "by the book" disappearing. Shippers and consignees and eventually shareholders will all suffer. [/QUOTE]
