[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1299848, member: 17969"] You are INCORRECT. Article 37 does not contain the words "work as directed" nor does any part of our contract from the NMA to the riders. The reason for the sentence in ARTICLE 37 is simple. The company "ENTRUSTS" the drivers to take a vehicle without supervision and leave the building with thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. The company has then placed an "OBLIGATION" to the driver to do the following by making on road decisions: 1) safe driving (all aspects, dont speed, dont run lights, dont get tickets,etc etc etc) 2) going straight to route with NO diversions. 3) protecting all merchandise 4) dont steal 5) service the customers with all issues 6) deliver packages in order, ontime 7) give a fair days work. 8) not using the package car for personal use or transportation of personal goods. These are "obligations" that only the driver can make and the company has placed this obligation upon us in article 37. There are many cases where drivers have been fired for stealing time, stealing miles, leaving the area and stealing merchandise. These are all violations of article 37 "performing duties in the best interests of the company". Obviously, these things are NOT in the best interests of the company. We are out there alone, and the company entrusts us to do the right thing as if this business was our own. Its alot of responsibility to place on a driver, but for the most part, we accept this obligation as an honor. We have been on the road for years, in my case, 24 years on the same route. Even though i am in feeder, and bounce back to package in the first part of the year, I still care about my customers and they care about me mutually. For that, I take my route seriously. I know which way is the fastest way to get done and make committments. Orion cannot think or use common sense. It can only calculate. Those calculations are NOT accurate. Orion cannot use common sense or adjust on the fly as I can. If ORION is going to put me behind, or force me to miss stops or committments, and then the company expects me to turn it off and start making the business decisions, then thats what Article 37 is all about. "performing my duties in the best interests of the company". TOS. [/QUOTE]
