[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 57432"] In general the methods haven't changed much in the thirty plus years I have been here. I am not talking about specific procedures on how you turn on a diad or the crap you miss while on vacation about the new way to dot the "i". I am talking about the general everyday delivery methods. Looking through your next section and knowing the stops, driving and working safe, etc. The primary way they can truly pressure a driver is a driver who does not follow the methods without a supe and then tries to with one. Then the "threat" of a supe riding with them for a performance ride is a true threat. A driver who practices the methods will be consistent within the constraints of any day and will be so with as well as without a supe riding with him. As far as 2008, I think that type of pressure would be counterproductive contractually. Now as far as a possible method of getting rid of older drivers (burning out those foolish enough to run, skip lunch, etc to try to make dishonestly unreasonable performance numbers), hmmmmm. . . That has potential, what's the downside, some will ignore the numbers and keep delivering like they always have, some will cut the corners and increase their productivity and some will give up. Not much to lose there for UPS unless the medical (workman's compensation) becomes financially too burdensome. [/QUOTE]
