[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1459907, member: 14668"] I'm guessing that, on average, about 39 out of that $40K is "self-imposed" by UPS rather than being an accurate reflection of the real world costs of a given accident. A few years ago, I broke a rear-view mirror on a tree limb going up a mile-long driveway on a dark rainy night. Its about a 5 minute job for the mechanic to replace a $10 piece of glass, but UPS in its infinite wisdom chose to have a supervisor make a 3 hour, 60 mile roundtrip to the scene of the crime...with a camera and a flashlight... in order to take about 30 photographs of a tree. There was the mandatory OJS ride, the mandatory week of acronym regurgitation for 15 minutes every morning under the tutelage of the "safety committee", and a 30 minute disciplinary meeting with myself and my shop steward and a gaggle of management people. All told, we spent well over $1K out of pocket on the $10 piece of glass that I broke. Your money and your call, but don't expect [I]me[/I] to buy into any of it. [/QUOTE]
