[QUOTE="browned out, post: 996615, member: 8105"] I am sure everyone here wishes the driver the best. We have seen this happen to many of our UPS brothers and sisters. The point is; if there is a no brainer, obvious safety improvement that can be made to keep the public and the UPS employee safer; it should be done. UPS has spent hundreds of millions of dollars repainting and rebranding every truck and plane in the fleet. UPS has spent millions on telematics, GPS, EDD, PAS, ORION and multiple other endeavors before addressing the most elementary, essential, obvious safety issues. If this driver had power steering, a high back seat, a shoulder belt or a newer safer package car, I believe he would have had much better chance to avoid or atleast minimize this "crash". It is an accident foremost not a "crash". It is more than frustrating that a company that champions safety sends us out there everyday without the basic safety features and protections we need to better our chances in any accident. Anyhow; all of our collective prayers go out to his family and him for a complete recovery. [/QUOTE]
