[QUOTE="upsdavz, post: 219335, member: 9764"] I was wondering if you would way in on this one TieGuy.. I have read some of your comments throughout this website, you always (most always) seem to make good sense. Of course I have addressed my concerns with management over this matter and countless other equipment concerns. It seems though that my concerns have been falling on deaf ears. Concerns have also been brought to the attention of the "safety committee" and as expected nothing has come of it (as nothing has come of any concerns regarding safety in our hub since it's inception) The general response from ups automotive has been that this particular outside service gives ups a far cheaper hourly rate than any other in the city (not surprising when they charge for fixing wipers that weren't broken) You get my drift? I also relate to the concerns for the safety of myself and those around me. As for the service of our packages my co-workers and I do the best we can, with the tools we have been given. One thing that we all might not want to forget is, these ups trailers move all over North America, I rarely pull the same trailer twice (maybe over time) but not very ofen. As for documentation of breakdowns and such, I believe when I fill out breakdown reports and enter breakdowns on my ivis (timecard) ups should be aware, and should be addressing these concerns. I know that if I was in management and I had a driver fighting a trailer fire on the side of a highway or leaving the yard with a trailer that had just been pmi'ed and had no brakes i'd be mighty concerned. Looking foward to your feedback...... D [/QUOTE]
