[QUOTE="soberups, post: 507903, member: 14668"] I take the opposite view of the original poster. I have been on PAS/EDD for approx. 4 years and on Telematics for a couple of months. I take the view that these two systems are a rope that we as drivers can allow the company to hang itself with i it so chooses. If the company chooses to harass me over production I can choose to shut my brain off, stop even trying to make smart decisions, and simply run the route 100% "their way" according to EDD. If they want that number bad enough I will quite happily shove that number about 4 feet up their ass and they aren't going to like that number very much any more. A driver who follows EDD 100% and is 100% compliant on seat belt and bulkhead door issues is going to be virtually impossible to fire for anything as long as he is honest about his lunch and breaks, which he should have been anyway. Bear in mind that the contract prohibits the use of GPS or telematics data for disciplinary purposes. Also bear in mind that harassment works both ways and that a united and militant group of drivers who stick together can make their manager far more miserable than their manager can make them....all while being 100% compliant with every single method, policy, procedure and instruction that UPS chooses to impose upon them. The Telematics system basically creates a level of transparency that did not exist before. Transparency is a wonderful thing, especially if you are like me and never had anything to hide in the first place. [/QUOTE]
