[QUOTE="browned out, post: 5292576, member: 8105"] We are at the beginning of the most dangerous time of the year for package car drivers regarding heat related health and safety issues. Does ORION take safety and the exposure to unnecessary excess heat into account the time spent in the back of a package car searching for a package that is not next in the selection area (i.e. 1000 2000 3000 4000 sections)? Why are we searching for a 1lb amazon envelope in the middle of a bulked out package car in the sweltering heat instead of just grabbing the next stop off the shelf? ORION increases the possibility and likeliness of heat related health issues including heat exhaustion, heat stroke and, unfortunately, unnecessary heat related deaths. UPS has the ability and technology to return to EDD at any time. Drivers would spend less time in the oppressive heat of the cargo area. Loads would be stop for stop. Slide up the next section and the next stop will be in close proximity to the bulk head door. [/QUOTE]
