[QUOTE="soberups, post: 651476, member: 14668"] In my location, UPS just spent over half a million bucks wiring our trucks up to a Telematics system that gives management the ability to sit behind a desk and micromanage us down to the gnats ass. Some of these vehicles were wired up...at a cost of $800 per vehicle...only to be immediately mothballed. As we speak, 4 of these vehicles are ADA'd and will be towed away and crushed, having never even used the Telematics system that was installed in them. They probably spend $20 per day just on copy paper so that they can stick a Mapquest diagram in everybody's slot that shows where and when the package car moved 28 inches with an unlatched bulkhead door. I recently participated in an AM meeting where I represented a driver who was being questioned over a [B]90 second [/B]discrepancy in his reported break time. The driver and I sat in the office for over [B]half an hour...[/B] [B]on overtime[/B]... to resolve this "issue". As a company we will survive [I]quite well[/I] without drastic wage reductions if we can simply find a way to cut the fat and bloat out of the managment ranks as well as reevaluating the wisdom of throwing huge sums of cash at technological gimmicks of dubious value.
