[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1261468, member: 17969"] UPS as a whole is probably concerned with safety, however, as that thought filters down to the front line, it loses its intention. Just a week ago, I was with 9 sleeper tractors traveling from so cal to IOWA when we hit the rockies and a major snowstorm hit the higher elevations. We called ICC ( UPS ) to report white out conditions and the unsafe traveling conditions, and we were told to "KEEP MOVING, DO THE BEST YOU CAN"... When pressed, ICC simply threatened to send us further to NEW JERSEY if we stopped the trucks. AS a result, less than one hour later, one of our sleeper tractors crashed into a tunnel in the ice and snow seriously injuring two drivers. Chicken Legs, there is a difference between propaganda and reality. While the company may want safety to be their priority, the operation ultimately sees it differently and fails to calculate "RISK" when giving instructions. TOS. [/QUOTE]
