[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 1287290, member: 11315"] Before Orion, Before Telematics, Before GPS, and Before PAS/EDD, It was difficult for management to control a drivers's day. They were at the mercy that a preloader counted the correct stops for that route and a trained driver would run the route correctly and bring it back in a reasonable time. During this period of time, UPS ties could not do anything about terrible drivers outside of purely observing them doing something wrong. They lost a lot of money on these unproductive souls and after the strike, have put in a foolproof plan to clean up that mess. Unfortunately, once you save some money and time, you want to save more, and more. That's why we are in the mess we are in. This is not a blanket observation to all workers. I've witnessed some drivers back in the day who deserved to be fired. Purposely sandbagging all day knowing his 8000 section was gonna be grabbed by another driver. It still happens sometimes but there is too much transparency to get away with it anymore. [/QUOTE]
