[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 989890, member: 17969"] So far this year, we have had 3 drivers pass out from exhaustion in our center. TWO required 911, an ambulance and fire rescue. In each case, the driver phones in to center, the center tells them to sit for 5 minutes, then continue. The driver says that he does not believe he can continue and is dizzy, the center responds with "keep moving and drink water, well send you help in the pm".... a short time later, a customer is calling 911 for a downed driver. Yeah, tell me UPS cares. The next morning, in our PCM, the :censored:bag center manager tells us how "the driver failed to eat a proper dinner, then breakfast" before he came to work. Seriously? How about its freakin 105 degrees out here, and in the truck its 118 degrees and the driver is blown out from bulkhead door to rear door with a 12 hour day ahead of him? The company is so set on packing as much on the trucks as possible, and for the most part, we take as long as its going to take and stay comfortable. You want to put 12 hours worth of work on my truck in 100 degree weather? OK, not a problem. Ill drink my 4 bottles of water each hour and cruise to 100K again. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
