By the grace of god ,in our center we haven't experienced the increase in accidents or injuries....yet. We all know it's just a matter of time. Scary part is,it's the public that's at risk. We all think of it as causing problems with our employment and management sees it as lost revenue,but not once have I heard them express concern for the loss of life. Ask Dominoes why they don't have the 30 minute guarantee anymore--- you got it,too many accidents-some that included fatalities. But don't worry,if and when that happens in this company they will just fire the driver,citing him or her for being unsafe and if necessary hiring a massive PR firm to cover up the real reason it's happening should the public get wind of it.
Me personally,I get 20-25 more stops per day,went from 30 mins a day OT to 90 mins or more and have made a conscious effort to drive safer,slower and more aware of my surroundings. I don't care about SPOHR or warning letters. My only concern is my safety and the safety of others. I had my share of accidents and I'm not about to have one more due to being over worked and pressured. Only numbers that concern me are the ones I see on Thursday morning.
