[QUOTE="browntruckmechanic, post: 170521, member: 7010"] Well Dave let me ask you a question. Let's say you are doing everything right, and it's the other nut jobs out there on the road that don't show you any respect in that 80,000 lbs doesn't exactly stop on a dime. What is slowing down going to hurt? What is a is cruising at 68 mph verses 65 mph going to do for you other than increase your time by 3 Min's over the course of an hour. You get paid by the hour. Who cares if you take 1 hour to go across town or 3 hours to go across town. And as for as mechanic taking up for mechanic, drivers take up for drivers, loaders take up for loader, etc... It happens because everyone in the same job tends to know what the other persons going through. And as far being safety minded. In the course of the last 6 months while covering on outbounds, while trailer guy is a lunch. I've noticed that the majority of drivers that run the stop sign outside the shop are feeders, while talking on there cell phone, which by the way is against UPS policies. [/QUOTE]
