[QUOTE="dave_socal, post: 193266, member: 5582"] I hope he is going to be ok. What caught my attention in this article is the fact that most people are not going to be able to tell wether this is a regular UPS employee or part of the new companies recently acquired like Overnight, motor cargo or menlo. I believe this UPS employee is part of our non union UPS Frieght division. The way I can tell this is the description of the second trailer says it was HAZMAT cargo which dosen't travel in our regular ground network of feeders. You may ask "so what?", Well as a package driver18 years and now recently turn feeder driver I sometimes read this unfortunate stories about UPS accidents and I want to know what type of driver was involved. I don't consider myself a trucker even though I now drive these type of rigs. I belive being a package driver so long help me view this work much differently than a non package driver like these new truckers that have become part of our network. I wonder about what type of safety training they recieved from their former employers. I know UPS has began to retrain them in the UPS ways of safety. I'm also not trying to say that we regular feeder drivers don't have accident because we do. What I'm trying to say is that it may say UPS on the truck, and thats all the media cares about, but until we truely integrate I sometimes wonder about our non union feeder UPSers:mellow: [/QUOTE]
