[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 135679, member: 4568"] We had a driver last year who was working on her car before start time. She was returning from the front of her car stepping up onto the grate in between two cars. She slipped and put a gash in her shin down to the bone that required 65 stitches. UPS declared it to be an off the job injury as it ocured 30 min. before her scheduled start time. I know all our loads suck but I encourage all of you to stay off your car before start time. That is the problem at UPS we have drivers with different agendas. Some want to run and skip lunch, work off the clock,speed and get off early. Others do the job properly, safely, and get paid for all the work they perform. UPS loves the me vs. you game, drivers sticking it to each other, backstabbing, dumping stops on each other. We need to all be on the same page. If we would really stick together and do the job right( taking full lunch, staying off cars in the am.) a lot of the problem areas we have ( dispatch, preload) would have to be addressed by the company. They could no longer be hidden by false numbers achieved in a dishonest way by drivers not doing the job properly on the clock. Sorry for the rambling JMO after 22 years of driving. [/QUOTE]
