Would the company allow us to wear safety vests if we wanted to out on the street while doing our deliveries and pick-ups? I think its a great idea, but I am wondering if our supposedly very safety conscious company would actually be more concerned about appearance and image.Forgettaboutit!!!
To be perfectly clear:
Over9five endorses the company policy of yard employees wearing safety vests 100% of their time in the yard.
Over9five would like to see a company policy of supplying ALL Package car drivers with safety vests to be worn while delivering at night AND any other time at their discretion.
(Please forgive my tone above, but I have gotten so annoyed at times with one sup especially. As an air driver, I typically have to go out in the yard to retrieve my truck. This particular sup is certainly OK if I put on a vest, and he is also OK if I or another driver go out there in my dark brown uniform...but if he sees me going out there to retrieve my truck in light colored street clothes, not having yet changed, I get a lecture. He says rules are rules, and I respect that, but, goodness, it just makes no sense, like other things I sometimes see at UPS.)
