Pees in the brown Koolaid
as mentioned in other post why not wire the truck not to run with the bulkhead open, seat belt off etc. ? as "technically advanced" as this system is it should be hard to put a circuit through the ignition.
The intent of the system was never to keep the driver safe. If UPS cared about our safety, all of the older vehicles would be equipped with power steering and 3-point seat belts.
The intent of the system is to help management to document a case for the driver's eventual termination. It is idiotic to attach a sensor to a functionally worthless lap belt in the name of "safety."
If the truck is wired up to not run unless the seat belt is attached, it wont be possible to fire the driver for failing to wear it.
UPS isnt going to spend big money on a surveillance system unless it is guranteed to help them to terminate employees....preferably full-scale or pro-union ones....and replace them with new hires who are younger, healthier, and will be in progression for 2 years.
