[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 814203, member: 4653"] I'm not sure what you are trying to describe or predict in your post, but I can tell you not to hold your breath waiting for it to happen, because its never going to happen. "Something ominous under foot"? LOL? Maybe its that load of crap you are trying to lay down, LOL?? PAS/EDD, automatic transmissions, telematics (not sure how this would assist a rookie driver but you said it), are not leading up to anything or plan to replace the current drivers and I'll tell you why. Our seasonal and summer vacation help is so babied and handled with kid gloves its not even funny. Our center management has no confidence in any outside help pulling a full route on their own. Instead, they are dispatched with 6 hours of work on routes that are mainly industrial on 2 or 3 streets and its been stripped entirely of its house calls. If you think UPS is going to replace it entire driver ranks with these people, think again. They would have to dispatch 75% more routes than they currently do now. They simply have no confidence in any outsiders because they know that each route is jacked to the point that its barely humanly possible. If the job was even a notch tougher, it couldn't be done by a human. So, obviously they can't put any shmoe off the street into a truck and say "go do the route" which is what you implied because of the benefits of EDD/PAS. [/QUOTE]
