[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1058708, member: 14668"] [I]You [/I]are a veteran driver with as many years at UPS as I have. If for whatever bizarre reason [I]you [/I]are willing to accept the multitude of safety risks involved with leaving an unattended package car running all day while delivering...[U]simply to help your management team look better on some daily report[/U]... that is certainly your business and my personal opinion doesnt need to matter to you. What I [I]do[/I] have a problem with....is when you criticize a [I]new hire [/I]who is still on probation for not being willing to take such foolish risks. I have [I]no[/I] problem using some common sense out there when it comes to vehicle issues. I carry a tow rope with me and I cant count the number of times I have gotten help from people with 4x4's or tractors to get me unstuck. I have purchased a replacement headlight for my package car at an auto parts store on my route, installed it, and gotten reimbursed that night in order to save time and avoid a road call. I have wedged open a broken bulkhead door lock and used a bungee cord to keep the door closed all day in order to avoid a road call. However...[U]under NO circumstances would I EVER violate a fundamental, basic safety rule by leaving a running vehicle unsecured[/U]. It is [I]irresponsible[/I] and [I]negligent[/I] of you to advise a new hire to do the same. [/QUOTE]
