[QUOTE="Jack4343, post: 917875, member: 7328"] I've been on the safety committee for several years. I work on them 11 months out of the year. The final month I refuse to do any safety activities. I am busy with my real job... being a delivery driver. I told my boss this year of my intentions and his response was "Safety doesn't take a day off" in which I replied "Now is the time to practice what I preach...not to teach". My job first and foremost is to be the best delivery driver that I can be to satisfy my customers and during peak that takes more effort. I'll be back in action on the safety committee in mid January after the after peak rush. Safety is always important but I don't understand it when safety committee members are using up their hours during peak and safety work. I barely came in under 60 the past few weeks and if I would've done safety work, I wouldn't have had enough hours left to complete my route and that is absurd. The oddest thing that happened this year during peak is we had a Ketter audit during the middle of peak. Yep, the auditors were out in force asking drivers their DOK's after 11 plus hours on the road. Glad they didn't ask me because I don't think I would've responded kindly to their requests as I don't think peak season is the time or place for an audit. [/QUOTE]
