[QUOTE="Article 3, post: 3046811"] How about "found to be at fault by the AHJ"? For example, the law says we have to park within 12" of the curb when stopped in park position.[SIZE=16px]UPS says 8". Don't get sideswiped or scraped while parked over 8" from the curb or you are at fault by the parcel magistrate.[/SIZE] They impose hyper legal authority onto the individual to make you live in fear and then they load the driver down with maximum stops and push them past normal human ability to complete their assignment without even being protected from the rest of the world's driver's mistakes. I've seen young drivers running to get their route done, all the while management sits back and laughs at their vulnerability to the pressure of possibly not getting done and the repercussions of being told they didn't follow the methods if they ask for help. Recently, I witnessed a PDS overloading a new driver on a Friday when it was only his 11th day of trying to qualify. "Oh, he'll be in early" was the PDS's reply when challenged on it by the steward. Or not at all. And somehow the liability lies on the brand new driver because he doesn't believe that he has any say in the matter. The liability really lies on the PDS for his/her stupidity, all the while trying to chase the ever changing matrix of people who sit in cubicles and aren't connected to the world of the people they'd squash for not complying with and validating the "Plan".
