[QUOTE="Ms.PacMan, post: 478492, member: 4656"] I was thinking about the magnetic bulkhead door sensor earlier and was thinking they could use a magnetic lock to secure the bulkhead door. Magnetic locks need a current and the door would unlock automatically every time a driver turned off the truck. Could they then use a solenoid switch on the dash to draw current from the battery to secure the lock when away from the truck? Pretzel man - What was the baseline for measuring safety? Without telemetrics UPS couldn't measure safety compliance, so how can they claim a success rate? Did accidents and injury statistics improve over the 1500 driver hours studied with the telemetrics? This will definitely improve compliance but I'm not convinced it will improve safety. Soberups - I can only guess that the reason UPS does not retrofit the lap belts is because they would then be acknowledging that they are unsafe which opens them up to lawsuits from prior injuries/death perhaps?
