[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 429917, member: 484"] heffe????? are you confused as to who you are posting as? :wink2: as for the installs, face it. each year we have several drivers that get the one way ticket to the pine box bedroom. and some are there because they dont wear the belts all the time. it is one of the most senseless ways to die at ups. so preventable. and yes, while we are trained, probably more than any other group of drivers, every day i see drivers that are not using the training. one driver who i see several times a day, 99% of the time has his cell to his ear, bulkhead open, no belt. i dont want to be the one to tell his daughter why her dad isnt coming home. then we are also talking about those drivers that do abuse their vehicle. and yes, they do fire people for that, and rightly so. three tranny's, a blown engine, two broken windshields in four weeks on one driver? there is a serious issue there, and ups will find out what. while the expense is large, the cost of burying one driver because of no seat belt is much higher. or having a driver on the cell back over a kid in the driveway. it will also assist ups when doing the investigation of an accident. it will give them a ton of info on what happened in the last few seconds before impact. for sure you dont want to be typing on your diad when it occurs. that might take what normally would just be an accidnet and change it to wreckless driving. the system is not in place to harrass the good driver, it is to force the runner/gunner drivers to do things properly. but too many chose put that in the ignore function at work. bottom line is this. you have been instructed on how to make deliveries. you have been instructed to wear seat belts and drive safely. just do it! d [/QUOTE]
