[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 529284, member: 484"] Too many times a tragic injury or death is the results of cutting corners or taking a short cut. Not too long ago, an employee was taking the shortcut out the loading dock door to another truck. saw the other guy backing in, but jumped out to save a few dozen steps. That action cost him both legs, one below the knee, the other right above. Was not at UPS, but the same thing happens at UPS as well. Not trying to assess fault or blame to anyone, but man times looking back, something like this could have been prevented had we just taken the time to do the job correctly. Like wearing seatbelts? Like not backing as your first movement after delivery. My heartfelt sorrow for the family that lost their loved one, and as well for the driver that has to carry the burden of this loss forever. d And shame on the two UPSers that dont have better manners than to spout their petty crap on this thread. Kinda like doing it at the funeral home. Take if off thread guys. [/QUOTE]
