[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4773733, member: 77939"] Bingo. Sort of. Preaching it and enforcing it are two wholly separate things. Looking the other way, actually encourages unsafe behavior. I realize this is pretty obvious. The load content doesn't mean anything. My tractor alerts me to the speed limit and when its being exceeded. Mgt knows this also. But the on time feeder network is more important. They'll say otherwise but......witness illegal equipment. I've turned down my share of loads(non-roadworthy).....to see it arrive 10 minutes after me. Hear this: if a UPS vehicle was involved in this tragedy.....it is a certainty the drivers telematics would be used to every extent...(good or bad). Telematics for discipline? You bet your career. And you can absolutely guarantee all of the vehicles involved will be closely scrutinized for legality and drug tests will be administered.....absolutely. And the video footage.....oh boy! So, next time you mount that UPS vehicle......ask yourself: what happens if..... Do the job right(legally) and by procedure and you can have little worry. [/QUOTE]
