[QUOTE="soberups, post: 819682, member: 14668"] My building (225 drivers) has been on Telematics for over 2 years now, so I have plenty of experience dealing with it first hand. In that 2+ years we have had a grand total of [I]one[/I] Telematics-related termination for dishonesty. The driver scanned a NDA to a business as "closed" at 10:26 when he was actually several blocks away, and then made the actual delivery 10 minutes later after the commit time. And it wasnt the Telematics data itself that got the guy fired, it was the fact that he [I]lied[/I] and wound up [I]admitting[/I] that lie when questioned about it. If Telematics is coming to your center and this is the kind of stuff that you do....you will have to stop. But if this[I] isnt[/I] the kind of stuff that you do....then you truly dont have anything to worry about. You arent going to get fired for showing up on the bulkhead door report and you arent going to get fired for showing up on the seatbelt report and you arent going to get fired because you have more "backing events" then some guy in a cubicle thinks you should have. I can say that Telematics has actually [I]vindicated[/I] me on two occasions. I had a customer in a trailer park call in a complaint on me for "speeding" thru the park. The speed limit is 10MPH. They pulled the Telematics report and it showed that I was going.....10MPH. Case closed. I also made a delivery to a house where the FedEx guy who had been there earlier had gone down the driveway and backed his truck onto the customers lawn in order to get turned around. He would up tearing the lawn all to hell. I parked at the curb and [I]walked[/I] the stop off. The customer came home, found packages on the porch from FedEx and UPS, and called both companies to find out who tore up the lawn. The Telematics report clearly showed that I parked on the street and did not back at all, which would have made it physically impossible for me to be the guilty party. Bottom line; if you have nothing to hide, then you will soon forget that Telematics is even there. [/QUOTE]
