[QUOTE="Star B, post: 3015603, member: 61246"] Ground has it where it downloads to a Garmin. I doubt we'll ever get it because that would be an in-cab distraction. I'm pretty sure they are just confused. This was meant to mirror what heavyweight has, stuff in the truck to just watch over it. PATRIOT act, warrantless wiretapping, the NSA snoops etc. I'm not talking exclusively FedEx stuff. Treat(harass) me like a UPS driver, then you better pay me like UPS driver and give me union protection like a UPS driver. With all this telematic crap we are no different than a dedicated air driver. Do you think we did not have accountability in the past? Then what good have GAP reports been? The :censored:ty ice cream couriers can be sniffed out with the current tools and if management really cared. Let's put it another way.... remember that route you've complained to us about regarding it being all blown out? The one that the manager did a checkride with you and then shrunk the route? Imagine if the manager decided "No, I see you stopped at 10:01 for 2 minutes at County friend & County U, you spent 4 minutes at N1111 Redbeard way after your delivery scan, and you pulled over at the side of the road on hwy 51 for 5 minutes? WHY????? You can do better if you don't have all those random times you parked." They aren't going to spend the time to figure out it's because you are responding to dispatches and if you had such a heavy route with a bunch of dispatch messages, I would be surprised if you remembered every single time you put it in in park because you had to message them back or dig for a package. Then they will tell you why did you drive down county Z instead of county X? You may have to explain every single move to someone who spends 3 hours on a half-ass checkride and gets the area FO driver to bring them back to the station so they can push paperwork and run out the door as soon as they see the PM manager turn into the lot. THIS is the crap I'm worried about. Like I said earlier, What if I want to spend a few minutes talking to a customer about a shipping problem? How about if I'm trying to sell them on us so that LeadOn can get a solid lead? For every :censored:ty courier there are at least 4 of them doing what's best for the company. and typically couriers that do that are the ones protected by a manager, because they know they are immune to most punishment.
