[QUOTE="blue efficacy, post: 511594, member: 6435"] I am all for this. Drivers don't deserve 80 thousand dollars a year. I've done driver helper. I pretty much did everything, the driver would leave the truck maybe twice on average when I was working with him. I even collected CODs, which I am pretty sure I wasn't supposed to do. Anyone can do this job. The DIAD was extremely simple to learn, I pretty much knew all of the functions and when to use them after doing it a week. It was also much easier on my body than working in the hub. After hearing so many drivers complain about their job, online and otherwise, I thought maybe it really does suck, maybe they do deserve their excessive wages. But then, being a driver helper informed me that this is not actually the case. Ironically, he liked to complain about how the auto industry shouldn't be bailed out, how they got paid excessively high wages for the easy job of assembling automobiles. Only because UPS has the management style that is has, has it remained profitable. But if these excessive wages are allowed to continue, I can only see a bleak future for the company. Perhaps Telematics will allow UPS to get rid of people in the future who are making extremely high salaries while not working to their full potential. I will never be able to fill the openings they leave, but am glad that other people might. I've always believed that in most locales, UPS could fire all drivers, offer up their jobs for $18 an hour, and people would most certainly be lined up around the street. [/QUOTE]
