[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 1097544, member: 5529"] One, I hope everyone RTS' those letters. Two, if what you've posted is all that was on said letter, I would have asked: Checked? What am I checking for? What is an example of the good and bad I am checking for? What is the procedures when I find bad? Ziptie? In what way? How does this ensure safety? Can you please demonstrate exactly what you want us to look for and do? In doing so am I in compliance with DOT ,federal ,and state and local laws? As an outgoing trailer may travel to our buildings nationwide is this the national UPS policy? May I have a copy,signed by you, for my personal records as being the official method in which I have been trained? The letter you were asked to sign is a knee jerk reaction to what is being discovered with these chassis containers. No one, company or union , is taking a definitive stance at the moment here because no one knows 100% what the absolute correct answer is. We're discovering new stuff every hour. The good side is it has everyone talking and sharing expieriance which is helping to eliminate the guessing. To answer your question if the driver can be held responsible. Did he " run and gun" half ass it? Then sure. If he is working to established procedures, and therein lies the catch as up till now what has been established procedure? Make sure the retainer locks onto the handle and Ziptie? What was a correct retainer? What is the best way to secure it? Two weeks ago I would have given you a different answer. I'm just as guilty as I would have brought the pictured trl back myself as it would have met the described procedure at the time. I, we, did not know better. Now I do. And then piss them off by still RTSing. [/QUOTE]
