[QUOTE="want to retire, post: 972650"] Here In Texas, there is alot of road construction. Most work zones are 50 mph. 24/7. I drive my Feeder run in these zones all night long and into the morning. It never ceases to amaze me at the number of UPS Feeders and package cars passing me(obviously speeding....in a work zone where the fines are double!). With the recent fatality in New York(I think)(or anywhere), it would seem that(especially with telematics) people would slow down and at least go the speed limit. People: if you are involved in an accident or even a complaint, your speed will be checked via telematics! It will be used against you with all the consequences. Foremost-you are breaking the law while breaking Company policy.....very bad. On the other hand, MGT should be held accountable for allowing this to happen. Yes, turning a blind eye to unsafe practices in the name of the "numbers". I'm way far from being a "Company Man". Remember this: your "numbers" and productivity will be quickly forgotten if you are ever cited or found negligent in these situations. Period. I began my career with paper/clipboard and a ratty P500(wild and free compared to today). No telematics. You are sadly mistaken if you think we live in those times. One day(and we never know) something will happen. You will sleep better knowing you did the job right(safely). Change your life today. [/QUOTE]
