[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 193715, member: 4653"] Chan, I know there are many drivers that show up at safety meetings for the overtime and free donuts. This, of course, is the wrong reason to join the safety commitee. At the same time there is management people that do it to "put it on their resume". The latest is that the center team needs to know : 5 seeing habits, how to do them. what it does for you, and the key phrase. They also need to know, verbatim, the 10-point commentary, 8 steps for lifting and lowering and 6 rules of backing. Yes they can recite that. But can they actually apply it day in and day out? I think not. I have to help myself from laughing when the center manager tries to explain "aim high in steering". The center manager says "you want to imagine a dartboard/baseball" Do you really think he [I]knows[/I] how to do this or does it [I]himself[/I]? My guess is he's reciting what his superiors demand that he knows and has no idea what "aim high in steering" can really do for you. Come, on, who knows how to drive better than a 20 year veteran driver ? Or the center manager who hasn't driven a package car in 20 years? This is what makes me ill. Its important to be able to recite this information, but if we know and do apply this to our driving habits every day, its less important. Whatever UPS [/QUOTE]
