[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 469487, member: 484"] If you take the time to do the research on the "whole system", you will find that the majority of the features are to prevent unneeded maintenance on vehicles, identify areas of concern on a package car that might break down shortly, etc etc. Very little to do with package operations. But it is that part that involves package that worries so many drivers. As Pman posted, do your job by the book, and the data gathered on your day will be totally useless to UPS. What will be of interest are those drivers that 1 refuse to wear their seat belts 2 refuse to shut the doors on the package cars 3 back for long distances, or the drivers that leave the car pulled in and have to back out when they get into the car again (believe it or not, lots of drivers do that every day) 4 Drivers that play games with delivery stops. Like those that claim a package was misloaded so they had to back track. But yet the diad and GPS show that you never went back out there a second time. 5 drivers that pre-record stops for completion later on. Or those that tear off a part of the bar code to scan it later on while they sit and take a break. Nothing says there is an integrity issue to ups than a driver completing 16 stops while the truck is parked at McDonalds between 1-2. 6 drivers falsifying delivery times on air stops that they have not delivered yet. Funny how you show four deliveries between 10:26 and 10:30, and your diad GPS shows something else. And the list goes on and on. Some drivers have so much extra time, they spend all this time and energy thinking of ways to screw UPS. Seen it. and the examples and more above were represented by me when they lost their jobs. As for the seat belt activation of the starter relay, all that does is say the seat belt is fastened, not that the driver is wearing it. You can buckle up your belt across the seat behind you to bypass that, and it will start every time, but yet you never wore your seat belt. What you will see is this system used for behavior modification coaching on safety issues. And for those that do not change unsafe behavior, UPS will use an means at its disposal to correct or terminate those employees that refuse to make the proper adjustments. It will also assist UPS in identifying those mis deliveries where driver error played a part. Already it helped recover a pistol that was delivered to the wrong address on another street. The driver swore he delivered it to the right address, but he was 5 streets over. So for the drawbacks it might have for some drivers, it should have great savings to UPS in the long term. d [/QUOTE]
