[QUOTE="soberups, post: 711726, member: 14668"] OK tie, I have reread my post and you are correct. I chose my words poorly and I will retract my statement. It was a mistake for me to use the words "kill off a full-scale driver". This implies an intent which obviously isnt there. A better way for me to have gotten my point across would have been to say "allow the full-scale driver to die in a head-on collision". I do not believe that the company would actively seek to "kill off" a driver and it was a mistake for me to put it in that way. I apologize. The [I]fact [/I]of the matter though...is that the life, health and safety of the driver was [I]never[/I] a factor in the decision-making process when the older vehicles were designed and ordered. You know what? I am OK with that. It is what it is. I knew what the trucks were like when I accepted the job, and I am at peace with the fact that the company doesnt care about the safety of its people. What I cannot deal with though...is the phony "culture of safety" that this same company continues trying to cram down our throats, with its blizzard of acronyms and commentaries and buzzwords and empty rhetoric and phony, do-nothing safety committees. All I ask for is honesty. You dont give a rats ass about the safety of your people, and the equipment you continue to dispatch them in is [I]proof[/I] of that fact. So quit trying to pretend that you care when its obvious [I]by your actions[/I] that you dont. [/QUOTE]
