UPS drivers log hundreds of miles a day, in fact the road is where they spend the majority of their career. Who better to give advice on sharing the road and avoiding a crash.

A native of Irving, Texas, Lonnie has been on the same route for 20 years. With zero accidents over his career, Lonnie is an authority on safe driving.

Teaching others

Lonnie tells his kids, who are driving now, “You see how your eyes are constantly moving when you play your video game, looking for danger to pop up from any corner? That’s how you have to drive.”

Lonnie says keep your eyes moving means, you’re always looking for someone to put you at risk of a crash.

#1) Being on the same route for two-thirds of your driving career helps immensely.
#2) He avoided more issues since orion was implemented imo.
#3) He wasn't an active union steward or he probably wouldn't be highlighted here.

Just my honest opinion and experience.

I pretty much had the same route for 25 of my 30 years. I knew everybody, where they worked, their spouses and kids names and dogs names. I could do that route blindfolded.

"Hit fixed object... other".
They count now if the management actually reports them.

Always counted in my center. A scratch to metal counted too.

We had a great mechanic with extra mirrors and a quart of factory UPS Brown paint. Small centers are the best.

Our center manager has hidden countless accidents to stay off the bad list. No integrity in mgmt anymore.

For all the whining about the 5 Seeing Habits and the 10 Point Commentary they DO work.

I taught them to all my children.
