[QUOTE="soberups, post: 825994, member: 14668"] 1. You are not contractually entitled to any sort of safe driving award or recognition. 2. The company can "charge" you with an "avoidable" accident even if there was no way you could have avoided it. 3. The company can "charge" you with an "avoidable" accident even if no accident occured. 4. Any disciplinary action the company tries to take against you for this "accident" will not be upheld at panel. 5. You [I]are[/I] required to sign the DVIR, per DOT law. The moral of this story? UPS does not have a rational or consistent definition of what constitutes an accident. UPS does not have a rational or consistent definintion of what constitutes "avoidability". Achieving safe driving milestones and recognition has little if anything to do with actual safe driving, and [I]everything[/I] to do with blind luck and favoritism on the part of your management team. If you can look at yourself in the mirror and know that you are a safe driver, then whether or not your management team is intelligent enough to comprehend that fact should mean nothing. [/QUOTE]
