[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 742366, member: 4653"] Hey Robert, All due respect but what planet or company do you work for? HA HA. In regards to cell phones, just 5 short years ago nobody in management had mine or most other drivers and communication was strictly through the DIAD. This is the way it should be anyway. Its against company policy to use the cell phone while driving, yet I get at least 2 calls per day from my sup. Why? He knows my job consists of driving most of the time, right? So why would he put me into a position in which I need to use the phone while driving 10 times a week? I don't answer when he calls and I don't call back on my cell. My cell is for emergencies or if my family needs to contact me on road. Its purpose definitely is not for instructions to be dictacted to me twice a day from my boss. Thats what the DIAD and PCM are for. Send me a message and I'll call you back from my next pick-up. As for #2 Robert, no, we are not supposed to call in everything we hit. Are you serious? You call the center and tell them you hit an insect with your package car? Tree branches that graze the truck? Good grief, you can't be serious? An accident defined by UPS is "any collision between the UPS truck and another object that results in damage to the UPS vehicle, another vehicle, or property". Sorry, but hitting an insect doesn't fall under that definition. What do you think, Robert??? [/QUOTE]
