[QUOTE="Packmule, post: 925511, member: 33558"] Yes, Dragon, I am fully aware of how much a tier 3 three costs. What I question is why?. UPS may find that they get the best bang for their buck (pun intended) by staying with Liberty Mutual and their crazy policy, but in the end it is no excuse to punish drivers every time they have to pay a premium. Management has turned "professional driver" into a fantasy world where we are declared untouchable so they can save money on auto insurance. I don't mind following every policy they have put out there when it makes sense. I have even put my own kids through the 10 point commentary and 5 seeing habits, but breaking the law with the horn issue is over the top. I am not kidding when I say that there are places where you can be cited $500 and given up to 30 days in jail for disturbing the peace. UPS does NOT have the right to put us in this position. Sad truth is, in many cases a horn honk would be perfectly appropriate and very effective. But management today allows drivers NO discretion whatsoever, and if the observing sup doesn't hear the horn--even from a block away--your ARE facing stiff discipline action. This is INSANE!! We are not five years old! I'm an adult, damn it, and I can tell when a horn is needed and when it is totally inconsiderate. [/QUOTE]
