[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 709530, member: 26800"] BigBrownWeb, Thanks for your well wishes and your contribution to this discussion thread. You have brought the sad truth about this kind of thing out into the open. The sad truth is that the corporate executives of UPS probably do a cost benefit analysis of this and as stated above, will not act upon this type of neglect until the financial cost of acting is lower than the financial cost of not acting. UPS executives are well aware of the fact that employees cannot sue their employers for neglect and it will take a lot of worker's comp claims to exceed the financial cost of acting on these items. I think your estimate is high. It would probably be more like 15million to upgrade 25000 UPS package cars with the items that I have mentioned in my original post. You mention legal liability. It is my understanding that when talking about liability we are talking about liability for something such as property damage, injury or death. Where does the risk of property damage , injury or death increase, or become huge, with the installation of any of the accessories I have mentioned? Please let me know. This information will be very helpful to me. Sincerely, [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=6]I[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
