[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 517788, member: 4653"] GUTHREE, I agree that we feel totally naked without the seatbelt on. I think we all wear it 99.9999% of the time. I'm thinking UPS wants to crack down on the .999999% of the time we are not wearing it. I think UPS wants to stop the practice of clicking the belt just as the truck begins to roll because most of us let the truck roll too far before the belt is fastened. I find it very interesting that GUTHREE said he felt "naked" without the seatbelt. I feel the same way but didn't at first. I was two months into my first air driving job. At one point during the air pick-ups my seatbelt got jammed and I couldn't fasten it. I was in my early 20's and this occured almost a decade ago. I drove to the airport (5 miles?) in a P500 without a seatbelt on. Then, me being either stupid or naive didn't tell a supervisor at the airport. I drove back to the center without a seatbelt!!!! When I think back, I can't believe I did it! Why didn't I alert a manager at the airport? My truck was empty and service was made on every parcel I picked up so it would be no inconvience to me or service issue with UPS. I simply didn't think the seatbelt was that important:knockedout:. I'm thinking it was my age and inexperience that allowed me to drive a P500 on the highway without a seatbelt. There is no way on this earth that I would move any UPS vehicle 6 inches without a seatbelt now. 10 years later I can't believe I drove a P5 on the highway for many miles without a seatbelt. :sad-very: [/QUOTE]
