[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1275674, member: 12570"] When you were young did you listen to advice given by an old timer? We had a casual driver fired on Thursday. He had already been fired once for sexually harassing his (female) helper during Peak, was brought back with a "last chance" deal to work the metro and drive as needed, switched to the preload. He was on road on Wednesday, had two packages that he didn't sheet and asked our metro 22.3 to "bury with the send agains", also had a concern over a missed call tag pickup and one for an argument with a customer. Was given a chance to fess up about the two packages, lied and was subsequently fired. Back to the thread---a few years ago (pre-Telematics) we were given a challenge to reduce our backs by counting the number of backs that we made during the day. I think I had 51 and have to admit I was surprised it was that high. I have brought that down to an average of around 30 per day with 2 or fewer BFE's each day. Yes, most of us are professional drivers, but even the most professional of us can find a way to back less often (without driving around the block to do so). [/QUOTE]
