[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 2584009, member: 5485"] My first center manager trained me to deliver with the bulkhead open. When he was in the drivers seat, the door would rattle, so he would hold it to the frame with one hand and drive with his left. Lots of bad ideas come from former corner cutting drivers who looked great on the WOR, then took the mgmt path. I never looked at a phone or a map while delivering. Now, the diad, that's a whole different story. I was very lucky. A few close calls, that finally woke me up, got me to leave it in the holder. Sometimes, the close call is actually an accident or a fatality. The driver has the final say in how they execute the "methods" they're "trained" with. The "trainer" may pass on some terrible ideas that are then the basis for further exploration of other bad ideas that a driver may come up with in order to satisfy the UPS hunger for production. Until that changes, and UPS stops talking out of both sides of their mouth, you can bet that trainers will suggest, and even demonstrate, a whole host of unsafe practices while disavowing their personal contribution to the problem.
