[QUOTE="moldsporh, post: 1494597, member: 54834"] So by that rationale, we don't need horns, back up cameras, reflective vests in the yard? Kids won't run out into the street, cars won't pull out in front of us? etc...the list goes on. I agree with you that proper training and procedures accounts to accident avoidance, but what end result are you after? UPS will put a telematics system in the vehicle at a cost of $600 per vehicle to monitor seat belts, bulkhead doors, pressing stop complete at a pickup stop with the engine running, but a $35 beeper is not an option? How many times do UPS vehicles back each day?

I still cannot believe a company that preaches safety as much as they do, has an enormous fleet of vehicles, many of them commercial, and have no back up alarms for them. [/QUOTE]
