I do. I have the time. Just like I have time for my full lunch and breaks everyday.
I would think sober has a good working relationship with the people at this stop and they would be more than happy to give him a hand with over 70s if he asks.
Yeah, I know, the contract says UPS is supposed to send help for over 70s, but how many of us have the time to sit and wait for another bargaining unit employee to make his way over to help us? We either ask for help or "man up" and take care of it ourselves.

Took the words right outah my mouth!!! There is no trust at this company,they hire us,train us,then have no faith in what they taught us !!!!
Seems the system could be a valuable tool if some common sense were added in.
I hear you loud and clear Upstate and it might be a little reaching but so is this supervisor asking this 23 year safety asset to our company about why he backed 111 feet to a stop. We are paid a good wage and have to all make hundreds of judgement calls everyday and 99% of the time they are the correct one.
Is this a daily pickup? If so how many packages do you pickup? If it is not daily pick up or you only pick up a couple of packages each day then you should not have back up.
Back to the telemactics part. If the GPS system isn't picking up 3 satellites then the data it's putting out is garbage.
You pointed out a couple of things that I skipped over. 72 doesn't have a clue.Its a business.
Some days they ship out one package. Other days, they ship out 10 or 15. Once or twice a week they ship an over 70.
The driveway I am backed into is off of an alley, which is off of the main road. I have to back into there in order to turn around.
In this situation, there is no alternative but to back up.
Innerstate-
"Man up" one too many times, blow out a disc and see if the company "mans up" and comes to your assistance when you file comp on your injury.
Or woman up. LOL I get help from customers when I need it. In some cases I have not delivered over 70's until I get help.I would think sober has a good working relationship with the people at this stop and they would be more than happy to give him a hand with over 70s if he asks.

Question---------------if you roll back without using reverse, is this counted as backing?
As I have stated in the past, The Union does not recognize telematics for discipline, due to its inaccuracies. This is but one example of the many, many flaws the system has. I agree with P-Man, when used proper;y telematics is a valuable tool. Not for discipline.

Enjoy it while it lasts.
One day soon, those BH door and seatbelt events are going to become the "flavor of the week" and you are going to start getting nagged to death over them.
but it does give us a reason to go do an observation.
