[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1354560, member: 17969"] What would be important in the case would be what part of his day was he in. The first 4 hours? The middle 3 hours? Or the last 4 hours? If it was his last leg, and the company forced the driver to run one last leg because of staffing and the driver extremely tired leaving the yard? I see this all the time. 11th hour and the manager finds one more trailer that needs to be pulled somewhere and a driver is assigned to take it knowing he is very tired. As UPS always attempts to say, "accidents" can be prevented, but if the company really believed in this principle, it would look into what leg this driver was on. Its always something at UPS. HOT LOADS, is stated, as if that is going to motivate me to somehow drive faster or take shortcuts. For me, I got news for UPS. I aint going any faster than is safe, and if the trailer is late, then its late. TOS. [/QUOTE]
