[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1374722, member: 42691"] This is an easy argument to win w/management. Particularly at night. At night, if you drive 65 MPH on a dark highway, your Eye Lead Time (remember that, Mr. Supervisor?) is barely 4 seconds. Try it sometime. Not the reflectors to the side of the road, but the road itself. UPS guidelines specify 8 to 12 seconds eye lead time. So, you have to ask your supervisor, what parts of the 10 point commentary are we supposed to adhere to, and which ones should we ignore? Should the drivers go the speed limit even if it makes their following distance too short? Should they do the speed limit in fog/rain/snow? You must ask, is safety just something that we do when it's convenient, or is a 24HR, 365 day goal? It sounds like a smart-assed thing to ask the drones, but it is a serious question that management must address to you and every other driver. Bottom line: instructing drivers to go a certain speed is just a harassment tool. They count on getting as many drivers as possible to do as they say, regardless of safety concerns. [/QUOTE]
