[QUOTE="MRFLASHPORT, post: 461721, member: 20317"] I've been reading this forum for over a year, as I have several friends who work for UPS here in Atlanta as package drivers- and also have used UPS for years since I got into the side business of two-way radio repair. I am amazed at the virtual balls some display claiming that UPS should operate in conditions that public safety have determined dangerous for travel. It may come as a shock to some of you, especially the crybabies whining about your Christmas gifts being a couple weeks late, but are you not glad that no UPS drivers were not injured, or worse yet killed just trying to get your gifts "on time"? I think SAFETY is paramount, and while no delivery company or service provider wants a backlog- safety is paramount. Safety of not just the employees of the UPS company, but of the public and yes, even self-centered spoiled persons who would go through the trouble of coming to a community of hard working people and incite them as well. In the public safety business we have a saying, and that is that rescuer safety always comes first. I can't rescue you if I become a victim. So I would love to hear one of my fellow newbies to come and explain why they think any human beings' lives at risk to deliver non-life essential goods is okay? So FedEX and USPS does it- that is their risk, I am glad as a shareholder of UPS that they put their employees safety above the competition. We've all had late packages, once a customer sent me a $2,000 radio that went missing, it took a month but UPS recovered it. Long story but things happen. But no property of any kind is worth a man or woman's life. Get some perspective. [/QUOTE]
