[QUOTE="ch317273, post: 1511412, member: 56865"] this is the BIGGEST and MOST IMPORTANT safety issue of them all! well said! safety training and safety meetings and all things SAFETY go out the window when a guy or gal pulling a route is carpet bombed with work to the point where its not even funny! this puts huge amounts of pressure on the driver and come on, they say driver is responsible for making smart driving decisions and staying safe which is true but if I were to practice textbook training practices on the real world street id be lucky to get half my stuff done! and im sorry i have only been driving less than 8 years maybe not nearly as long as some other veterans here but when a driver tells me that an overwhelming route doesnt get to him or her at all , sorry if im skeptical, it gets to me at least a few times a day when i feel im behind and i dont drive like a maniac or anything but lets put it this way, you wouldnt video tape my route for an orientation video....and the thing that bothers me is an accident is an accident, company will roast me for the accident, NO excuses...this is an industry wide problem i feel as im new to ups but have been driving feight p&d for 8 years at nemf, abf, and now ups, cant imagine how much crazier it is for you package guys and gals, and im a city freight driver doing 20 stops a day which is i feel a ton of work in a 48 ft trailer [/QUOTE]
