[QUOTE="BigBrownSanta, post: 468931, member: 11097"] If you stop and think about it, why would UPS have to implement something like this? Maybe because some drivers will take any and all shortcuts to get done. You can thank those drivers for this system. How many of you have looked at the DIAD while driving because you forgot if your next delivery was supposed to be Main Street or Main Place? I know I've done it. I also know that I do it alot less once I found out this system was going to be implemented. If you guys are that paranoid about getting caught doing something you shouldn't be doing to begin with, you may want to start practicing doing it the right way now. This telematics is probably not going to go away. Choose something that you have a problem doing and find a way to remind yourself to not do it. For example, if you drive with the bulk head door open while delivering resi's, take a delivery notice and write "close bulk head door" on it and stick it on the windshield in a place where you can see it. Concentrate on fixing that problem for a week or two, and eventually it will become a second nature reflex to close the bulk head door without even realizing you did it. I guarantee you, leaving the bulk head door open or not wearing a seatbelt or leaving the truck running while dr'ing a package will not save you any massive amounts of time throughout the day. I know many of you won't agree with me, but personally, I think this is a good thing because it will force people to do the right thing each and every time. [/QUOTE]
