[QUOTE="Seymour Packages, post: 4707440, member: 79252"] I'll start. 4 years ago, I get a message on the DIAD directing me to go take another driver's air. His was the route next to mine. I pull up and there is an ambulance up the road. I don't give it a second thought. Turns out the driver had a medical emergency on area, and had to be rushed to the ER. Before an ORS even got there, two other package cars arrived to take stops from the now driverless package car. The driver was instructed to leave the keys and his DIAD. He was taken to the hospital, and us 3 drivers stood there in disbelief. I got the air and left, ensuring that it was ALL delivered very late (friend UPS). I eventually got word that an ORS made it out to shuttle the PC back to the center. From that day on, it was clear that you could literally die on your route and the company would continue on as if you never existed. An old timer told me that the packages are worth more to the company than we are. I have yet to hear a more accurate statement. [/QUOTE]
