I find it hilarious that Integrity finally got something right.

Deplorable.
I observed a safety committee member the other day using his knees to steer the truck while fiddling with the DIAD at 70 MPH on I-95. Can't say I was surprised though.

Let's talk about integrity. No, not I but integrity. Let's talk about the scumbag, low down snake in the grass, sleazy friend'ing puke that thinks it's ok to use a piss bottle and then hide it behind my tote in my truck. Forgeting it is one thing (and that's unacceptable too) but hiding it? That's downright nasty. I can't even imagine what makes a grown man think that this is even tolerable. Where the hell were his parents when they handed out morals? Not to mentioned honor and decency. Come on men, really? Is it really necessary to be such friend'ing pigs? Just the fact that that bottle could have broke open and contaminated every single package in my truck. And it would be 'contamination'. I would shut that truck down faster than snot being blown out of a nose. Every square inch of that truck would have to be processed as hazmat.
When I found that bottle (4/4) the first thing I did was call my on road. I was HOT to say the least. He said he would take care of it. The 'taking care' of it consisted of a PCM. Don't leave piss bottles in the truck. Oooooooh ya, that's real incentive. friend him. I'm still pissed about it. I even sent a text to my DM the same night. To this day I have not heard one word from him over it. friend him too. So my solution to this is pretty simple. I have made it known to both my OR and my DM that if this ever happens again, I won't bother with either one of them. Their useless. Nope, what I'm gonna do is make the biggest friend'ing stink with OSHA I can. They won't hear the end of it.
I'm pretty sure I know who did it and he doesn't want to say anything, not one word to me. Ya know, the sad thing or maybe it's the disgusting thing about this whole situation, the guy that I think did it is head of our safety committee. How is that for a safety program.

"Safety first.......or when it's convenient"
is the slogan at our hub.

I find these on a nearly daily basis. Complaining to those in the center does no good. Noboby gives a rip there about automotive's concerns. You may be headed in the right direction. Post us if you get some results. ...."pissed" is an oddly appropriate term here.

Integrity, may I please, reverently, and with all due respect, ask a question? Why is each sentence you write a separate paragraph? It comes across as if you consider all us children reading children's books. We are quite capable of reading entire paragraphs. Your style, not your thoughts, draw the heat.

I doubt that I will see this happen anytime in the near future. I would suggest that you and everyone else that has this problem start spreading the word. This act is nothing short of exactly what OSHA is in place for. I know that the guy that I think did this is in tight with my DM but I am willing to bet that my DM will roll on him in a heartbeat to avoid an OSHA investigation and potential fines. OSHA doesn't give a rats ass about excuses.

Poor attempt at humor.

The only reason they push safety is to blame you when you get hurt. Makes them look human and smart that they care so much about your personal health and well-being. The PR to the media about UPS safety policy is as real as the news you hear on T.V, made up. OSHA needs to be brought in more often, yet I still believe here will be little difference made towards safety and health regulations.

I agree. I'd rather see OSHA than Keter.
I like safety first....only when the belt is off.

There is a secret society called "The Circle of Honor".
It is so secret only 6,000 UPS drivers have been inducted in the past 53yrs.
We secretly endorse unsafe behavior, so that we can feel special about ourselves.
