[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 689652, member: 13254"] [COLOR=Blue]True, the pressure is tremendous now and has been slowly growing for a few years now. With each "improvement" in technology the pressure increases along with the stop counts. Working safe within the methods is all a driver has that they can depend on as a saving grace. [COLOR=Red][COLOR=Green]The emphasis on production is indeed an old song, but the rhythm of the tune has changed into something too difficult to keep up with and I don't look for it to change unless there is a wholesale change at the top of the UPS food chain.
