[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1104303, member: 12570"] Would you consider this to be a form of harassent or a teachable moment? We had a demonstration as part of our PCM Thursday morning. Telematics showed that one of our drivers backed 300' feet on a main road. He had driven past the delivery point and rather than turn around decided to back. The on-car and center manager had us assemble in the parking lot. The on-car had two cones---he kept one and had the driver in question take the other one and start walking in the other direction toward our safety chair, who had walked off the 300' distance earlier that morning. When the driver reached that point he stopped, put down the cone and stood next to it. The on-car then described the scenario, relayed what the driver had done and gave what he felt were safer alternatives, which included walking it off. I have to admit that the demonstration was effective----it is one thing to hear 300' but to see it is quite another. It is the length of a football field and to back up that far on a main road is simply unsafe. The driver in question readily admitted that he had made a poor decision and the demonstration clearly showed that he had. Back to my question----would you consider this to be harassment or a teachable moment? I saw it as a teachable moment. As I said above, hearing 300' is not the same as seeing it; but, I also feel that the objective could have been achieved without embarassing the driver in question. [/QUOTE]
