[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1006327, member: 42691"] There's your answer. We used to do this when big wigs would come into our buildings flapping their peacock feathers. Simplify everything down to the lowest level. Safety, right? You can NEVER be too safe, It seems that is what the safety manager who charged this fellow is saying. Take that to heart. Every time your package car is moving on UPS property, keep the horn going. You wouldn't want to have a collision on property, right? Then use your horn to be extra sure. The fatal problem with this solution is today's UPS drivers (as indicated on this forum) have no solidarity. Hell, you can't even get drivers to agree on how to take a damn lunch. How are you going to convince an entire building to act in unison? You're not. Most drivers will hide their tail between their legs at the first command from management. Most drivers don't know the phone number to their own local, maybe even the name of their steward. So, I'm afraid the above solution is DOA. A better possible idea might be to talk to some of your more friendlier customers. Customers you trust. Talk to them about calling in 'concerns'. "Yeah, I don't know what the hell your drivers are up to, but if they continue to honk their damn horns around my business, I'm going with Fed-Ex!" This is typically the cry that makes most managers poop their pants. Enough of these calls and your problem may be solved. But again, most drivers now are so intimidated to spend more than a minute with customers, they may be afraid to ruffle any feathers. I'd just do what they say. If you get a ticket, throw it on your center manager's desk. His instructions, his consequences. And like all instructions, have your steward make him put it in writing, on UPS stationary, with his signature. [/QUOTE]
