[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5104195, member: 77939"] Interesting. Some of the most dangerous people on our yard are "Professional" contractors. Now, as far as UPS feeder people and all the rest....pkg, carwash etc....keep in mind they are being trained by folks who have never done the job....literally. Clerks to ORS. As far as off the street hires.....their world has very little to do with UPS or how we operate(see above^). Given that, off the street hires bring their same mentality to UPS's operations. This can be good or bad. Some of our highest Circle of Honor folks are some of the most dangerous people on Earth. Above it all mentality and really dangerous driving habits. This is why multi decade folks die behind the wheel way too often......60 year experience sleeper teams for example. I encourage ANYONE to spend 10 minutes on the yard watching also.....said it many times. Do it in the Hub too. Just 10 minutes. We had 2 shifters collide the other night.....it was his 4th accident/incident....pulling trailers off doors with people inside etc. He(was) a union steward and real hothead loud mouth. That said.....tons of off the street "experience" might or might not mean anything.....years of bad habits and bad attitudes or a fresh look of professionalism. With all respect. [/QUOTE]
