[QUOTE="Floridacargocat, post: 1022279, member: 6168"] Guess what would happen, if - Full-time Sups shuttle misloads and they get involved in an accident (not their fault) in their private car - Part-time Sups shuttle LIB's/ML'S in their private cars and they got involved in an accident (not their fault). Both parties have hit the proverbial jackpot as now they are in a position to obtain a sweet deal from UPS due to various non-compliances with a myriad of US regulations. Will they do it? Should they do it? If they involve a lawyer, the bad part is that these lawyers extract at least 1/3 of the possible awards. It is very regrettable that UPS Management opens itself up to such opportunities instead of doing the right thing. Get the proper input numbers, plan properly, execute properly and anticipate the unexpected. But how can they reconcile this with the numbers imposed on them by the almighty gurus from IE? Not having the right numbers of cars? Look into the backyard, where all the "red=flagged" inoperative vehicles are sitting. Is it a case of "excessive" wear and tear not in line with "planned" maintenance costs. Is it a case of wearing down our drivers? Look around and see who is limping, wearing braces of all kinds, coming to work in order to make (more) money because of economic conditions and being subjected to calls from a higher level within the center, or is it simply a deliberate decision to work in this manner? What is/was the creed of UPS once again? I am convinced that this company does have the brainpower to work smarter than our competitor, but as long as we are not changing the envelope/framework of our work (infrastructure, resource allocation, advance resource allocation with realistic numbers) we will try to overcome the challenges with muscle power, not with brain. And that will lead to inevitable results. [/QUOTE]
