I’m just saying there is no way you’ll be watched all day. There isn’t time for that. G-force events get reviewed and only get forwarded on if there’s an issue. I’ll get about one event per week sent to me. If UPS drivers are so superior there won’t be any events sent on to management.
It was researched a long time ago actually. Its a sensor so the monitor knows when its night or day so it can dim.
Not saying we are superior. Just saying we are held to unreasonable things. How often do you write your drivers up for back first exceptions or not having to seat belt clicked in for .001 miles. Management will monitor it and they will use it against "problem" drivers.
Most FedEx Ground drivers suck but there are a few good ones. But the good ones don't last long.
If it’s Lytx or any other company the fleet owner is paying for the monitoring as part of the service. While I can go in and monitor live feeds it’s just not practical on a regular basis. You are correct though, when I have a problem driver I will check in on them more often to see if there are issues. Most of the time there’s nothing to see and it’s really boring. Management might check in often when they’re first installed but they’ll get bored fast, like within the first day.
There are lots of good FedEx Ground drivers. They just are not held to the stupid "safety" standards we are. I was written up because I unbuckled my seatbelt a half second before the truck was stopped. FedEx Ground contractors would never do that. They probably wouldn't even mention it.
When UPS started getting stupid about stuff like that I started taking more time at every stop so I wouldn't show up on their reports. Give them what they want and they can whine about it all they want. I had years in so had a don't give a
attitude. Didn't get that way until they started asking for it.
How much time do you think they have to watch video beyond triggering events? How often will they find issues if drivers are generally following the methods? How many drivers is the average manager responsible for and how much video is there to watch? The cameras only save for events, so they’d have to be watching the live feed and catch something. Constant harassment isn’t practical.
Most ORS's between 10am till 330pm are doing absolutely nothing. Let me assure you they will dive into a drivers day more than you think.
I spent a few hours playing video games today and another hour taking a nap. I never considered checking a live feed of my drivers. It’s really boring.
I see it as another tool to replace management also.
