[QUOTE="Undertow, post: 3788478, member: 4550"] No way to predict the future for certain, but that possibility indeed exists given the circumstances. It's becoming pretty clear that the average/typical new hire today really doesn't possess the same experience and priorities as the ones getting started a generation ago and there's the additional impediment of ORION often badly hindering the learning curve. One of the long time drivers in my building remarked the other day how the first thing he sees upon walking into work in the morning is some supervisor reminding some guy on his 10th day about how he hasn't made scratch. Even if the new hire has a healthy dose of self confidence before being hired, he's being hassled about production while surrounded with often bad loaders and nearly always with a terribly flawed dispatch program that not only hinders his chances of running a route efficiently, but can even contribute to increasing the odds of an accident with as many times it's directing him drive to repeatedly through the same high density traffic intersections 5 times as much as RDO ever would. Management thinks accidents are bad now, then just wait until it's dark by 5pm and the white stuff is coming down. All the worksheets in the world handed to short timers aren't going to prevent somebody barely in the progression from acquiring the skillset necessary to succeed for the long term. [/QUOTE]
