[QUOTE="hoser, post: 217830, member: 6357"] Hey, I never said I accidentally left it open while out of my driver rhythm. But I can truthfully say that these accidental instances haven't happened more than three times, and when they did, it was as I was pulling out, and I stopped what I was doing to shut it. I never ever leave the bulk open, even if I am driving 50 ft at a walking pace. It's just a habit to shut the bulk when I leave the bulk area. The second I hit the threshold, my left arm is grabbing the pullcord to shut it. I memorize my stops (or at the worst, write them down), so I never go back into the back once I get back in, causing me to get out of my rhythm. I ALWAYS wear my seat belt. As my right hand engages the ignition, my left hand grabs the seat belt. The engine starts at the exact same time as the seatbelt clips in. Right foot applies the brake then right hand puts the pcar into D, right hand then goes to the steering while as the left hand disengages the ebrake. All of this while checking both mirrors and the backup camera. I don't think I'm alone on this one. When you do it 130 times in a day, it's as subconscious as breathing. Oh, and I never ever intentionally speed. There is the time where I'm passing an idiot on a 2-lane and I have to break the speed by 5% or I was going down the freeway without realizing I'm 10% above the speed limit, but once it's realized, I slow down. No way in hell can I get written up for having late stops due to the fact that I was overloaded and these were late for no reason beyond overloading. However, I can definitely get written up for speeding, and subject to termination if I do it again. Not worth it to think that I'm impressing someone. Because really, I'm not. And even if I were, I still wouldn't do it. It means more money for me anyways. All about rhythm and habits. not the HABITS, but the common sense habits. and I got it all this from fedex's courier best methods. Like HABITS, FX has "courier best practices" which caused a riot amongst the lifers in every station when it was implemented in 1998, but I must say it was really good. FX's CBP is the reason why I do everything the way I do, which does not make me susceptible if I'm getting spied on.
