Telematics...UPS is wiring your truck

[stevetheupsguy]

When the bottom of your kneecap is level with the lowest step on your package car, you know its going to be a long day. I hate the old P800 and P1000s, along with their manual steering. If I run 150 stops out of one of these, it beats me to death.

Consider me beaten. My 800 is just what you described.

We've been on it a week so far. I don't understand the idling measurement, because it can't seem to tell the difference between sitting at a stop light and being parked. I turn my truck off at every stop and I averaged about 55 minutes idling on every report. The other thing they seem to be really hot on is backing exceptions, did you back up before the delivery, or after.

If you really want to play with their heads. Go to a huge parking lot and practice your backing.....for like an hour.

Try having the lowest step hit you mid-thigh!!!

They are going to look for idling while at the customer location. Not in traffic.

Make sure you have the engine off while recording in the DIAD. The software will check if you did a stop complete while the engine was on.

If you are really turning it off at each stop, you will be fine. If they give you any grief, ask to see the screen. They can filter out events. Ask them to filter out any time you idled for less than 1 minute. This should fix most traffic problems.

You must be what, 5'3" tall?

Why not wire the seat belt and the bulk head door sensors with the relay that won't let you shift out of park until you step on the brakes? It would ensure a 100% compliance.

Because it defeats the purpose of this aspect of Telematics, which is to enable the company to document a case for the termination of the driver.

Its OK for you to get beaten to death as long as you can recite the 10-point commentary and have memorized the HABITS acronym before you die. The important thing here is for UPS to get a good score on the next Keter audit.

Okay. I give up. You caught us. You are absolutely right. The whole goal is to terminate drivers.

I must admit that management was outsmarted on this one. After 1500 driver days, we were only able to terminate one driver.

Unfortunately, the other 1499 drivers foiled our plans by actually improving their safety, following methods, and reducing idle time.
