[QUOTE="Richard Harrow, post: 819448, member: 29614"] Telematics hardware has been installed in probably about 75% of the vehicles in my center, the system is expected to go live in my building sometime in May of this year. Every person who shows up in brown to work in the morning should be rejoicing over telematics. For one, we all know that its impossible to put up good numbers on paper following all of their "methods" that UPS invented back in the 1960's when we handled only a fraction of the volume we handle now. They have their telematics, and now they can deal with the consequences of the drivers having to follow these outdated rules. Two, in most area's of my center, area trace is wrong. Remember, just like we have a sales department that gets paid money (not points on a card) to recruit business, we have people in place in that get paid to setup routes in a sensible order. Follow your trace as it is in the board, its your job. Never offer advice on how to setup a route; you're just an idiot that delivers and picks up packages, not an industrial engineer. If everyone does what they are supposed to, follows their "methods", and walks the line, feeder drivers won't be the only hourly employees making $100k+ anymore. Be safe, all. [/QUOTE]
