[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 469978, member: 484"] One more thing while we are on the discussion of telematics. 75% or more of the total information that will be gathered will pertain to automotive issues. To help prevent unneeded replacement of parts, to replace worn parts before a breakdown occurs etc. Much less than 15% of the information will pertain to driver issues, with the overwhelming being that of safety. Did you use your turn signal, did you secure your brake properly, did you use the seatbelt. The rest of the information will be a mix of different areas that can have the ability to help UPS understand the areas better to give them a better "view" of it than a three day time study would. The problem with this system is the delivery and implementation. And that is where UPS screws up most good systems and programs. Are you listening Corporate????? Many of you have posted that the delivery sup, center manager, or even in some cases even division managers have already threatened to misuse the system for their own personal agenda of "getting" some people in their centers. Shame on them and the people that allow this type of threatening. And that brings forth the sissy/girly/squirly postings that declare doom and despair and the end of the UPS driver as we know it. Yes, things are changing at UPS. To keep paying the top pay that we as drivers expect, UPS wants, no needs to control certain aspects of the costs that affect its bottom line. One of the larger costs is automotive and fuel. This system will point to areas that are wasteful or non productive. And like to admit it or not, we do have a number of drivers that are stealing time (not talking production here) but taking two lunches, spending time with the on road girlfriend while on the clock, etc. These are the people that will find this system a real pain in the behind. And for those that are refusing to work as instructed by buckling up, using horns and turn signals etc, this will be the tool UPS uses to instruct you to do so. If you still refuse, expect to receive the response. It will also monitor those drivers that are not honest with the delivery of time sensitive deliveries. So expect to be charged with dishonesty and hang by yourself if caught, because your sup that kinda hinted or whispered in your ear suggestions on doing what you are doing will hang you out to dry. In front of the division manager, center manager, stewards and the labor manager, they will plainly tell you face to face that what you did is a dishonest act, something you can get fired for, and they never ever even suggested you do it. So there you are. The system is not only designed to help UPS stay competitive, but to weed out those that are dishonest, speed, the "runners and gunners" that abuse equipment by racing the engine, and getting out while sliding to a stop. IT will make you a safer driver (I know sober, every one but you at UPS has 3 point belts). Dont fear the system, use it. It can be your friend. d [/QUOTE]
