[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 402010, member: 8259"] Of course but how smart was the center manager to send him out on the road when in the morning pcm the driver said his DL was expired and needed time off to renew it? From my point of view how many times can you ask for time off to get you DL stuff taken care of? Ten was not enough. Seems like a licensed driver at the least would be safer than a non licensed one. Like I said UPS does not really care about safety on the operational level. It may be different where you are but not here. Another example of a lack of safety awareness at our building. As I take a load out the gate the guard is required to open our rear door. This is for no reason since I have asked the guards what they are looking for and none of them know. Now I have to get out at the gate and make sure the rear door is secured before hitting the road to finish my pretrip. When we come in the gate the guards open the door and dodge boxes at times and now we have to get out and help load our customers packages back in the trailer. So our company that talks the talk on safety does not walk the walk. They expose people unnecessarily to gate traffic and guards to possible falling packages out of the trailers for no reason. I've got plenty more but I think the safety program at UPS is a joke. One that someone in HR got together with their friends, got drunk and came up with this junk. [/QUOTE]
