[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 3172327, member: 52145"] this is tragic. in real life it is hard to pay attention 100% of the time . we had some long weeks with chain controls 2-3-4 days in a row and the fatigue can be almost as bad as having 3-4 drinks. the thing is you think you are alert but you are really not. this is when the methods can really save you if you are using them 100% of the time. there have been times when i have done a pre-trip , got back into the cab , and can not remember doing the pre-trip. then I get out and do it over. i agree with the person who said the yard is more dangerous than the highway. after an accident somewhere in the UPS system , they crack down for awhile on yard procedures but then let up when we were 15-20 moves behind. during peak, all bets are off and you can do whatever you want. ass backwards.
