[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 3828302, member: 64407"] Nobody likes to be monitored from clock in to clock out. People on here always talk about how great UPS is and how FDX sucks and you just proved that to not be true. They make more money and have better benefits but their working conditions are much worse than ours in my opinion. They don't answer to UPS management, they answer to the union. The company has very little flexibility with manning and their employees have a very adversarial relationship with management. I might not make $36 an hour and pay little if any for health insurance but I am treated very fair by Fedex and would not trade jobs with my neighbor that works at UPS. We have GPS on the powerpad and trucks but if an employee is doing what he is paid to do, he has no worries. I follow the rules the company has made and expect other employees to do the same. The GPS only affects the employees that don't do what they are supposed to. I imagine driver facing dash cams and other tools will be implemented at some time in FDX trucks. I won't be around to work with those but for those employees that are, you can either deal with them or suffer the consequences. Plenty of other fleets have the driver cams and they have improved their fleets driving records. I heard first hand when I went to Smith System class a while back testimonies from safety specialist from other companies the positive affect driver cams had. Technology is there to change the way we do our job and expect it to happen in due time. We went from radio broadcast for p/u to Dads to powerpad. From sheeting up deliveries to tracker to supertracker to powerpad now LEO. If you are against a company using technology to conduct business, you work for the wrong company. [/QUOTE]
