[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 921583, member: 33696"] don't care if you do or don't; that's what i saw...I got no reason to lie here. From what i'm seeing on these boards, you guys are "pushed" too hard sometimes to make those "stops per on road hour" or over-dispatched, but are lucky that you have DIAD communications to ask for help or not when your day is bad. When pushed too much, some will slip and create an accident. not just UPS but I see more over on the purple side as well. I've seen more ground/ Home Delivery drivers in more accidents than you guys since their training isn't as stringent as yours (dunno about Express division though). But that's purple management's fault for cutting costs/corners in the past few peaks. Heck, they used vets like me to train those temps the proper methods that I've learned on my own in the few years driving for this division. They were rushing to get things done before it gets dark in this rural area... not just UPS, but FedEx as well... the thing i'm amazed at is when it does get dark, the UPSers in that area doesn't use spotlights like I do when delivering past dusk. Its pretty kewl for UPSers to have "[B]area knowledge[/B]" while i'm guessing if there's going to be a dog running around the property or a guy with a shotgun sitting on the porch... There were FedEx Ground temp drivers that were kinda overwhelmed out in the road, sitting on the side looking at their road maps & plotting every 5-10 stops, trying to beat daylight. But with HD, there's a neat turn-by-turn system with printed maps of my delivery area everyday... not perfect, but I can drive at night with it until I've attempted every stop in my package car. From a manager's perspective, I'm guessing that we aren't allowed up people's driveway for risk of the customer calling in a damage claim. But that only applies to the [B]temp drivers in my division[/B] since we don't have that valuable "[B]area knowledge[/B]" and from what I saw from his 1st post, the OP did have the knowledge to make that warning letter invalid. Sorry to imply that, but that was not my intention to bad-mouth UPSers:oops: [/QUOTE]
