Cameras

CPU.

Package in a tractor trailer.

I passed on CPU day jobs(0700 starts) for any road job(nights). Because of the stupidly tight schedules in rush traffic. Getting bitched at for things you have no control over. Yep.....pkg.

You were scared your whole career
How sad is that

Gonna go out on a limb and say they have ways of getting a good idea

They might, but on the other end of the spectrum, you have to wonder what the last crew in charge thought about a turn out like that? How do you even threaten to send people on strike who didn’t even vote?

With that being said I would still rather do a cpu run in feeder than driver a package car around any day…without a question.

Pfft. I choose to be a CPU driver. I like seeing people and getting out of my tractor.
No way I could sit on my ass driving for 4 hours...

Maybe came into play when they accepted the contract even though we voted it down. I mean, 22% even bothered to vote. Maybe the old guard thought the other 3/4 wouldn't even strike.

Call a strike when only 1/5 of the employees voted to strike? Yea , right.

It’s hard to argue if that was their logic. Hopefully people are more engaged this time.

Gotta consider the source…think he is just a glass half empty guy no matter what the situation is.

I’m trying to remember if we’ve ever had a contract negotiation where we did not take a Strike vote? If we have, I don’t remember.

Ive always remembered one. Sometimes at the hall. I believe the last one was done on the web or phone in my Supplement/Local.

 

[Foreshadowing]

If that is what you got out of what I was trying to say, it's a lost cause trying to explain it to you!

Inward facing cameras is a concession. Forward facing cameras is the same as 90% of anything that has to do with driving a truck, car or anything else for an employer now days. I don’t think forward facing cameras are a concession at all.

2008?

I don't remember one in 2002 either. I've slept since then so I could be wrong.

I’m guessing this is to protect the company from claims from customers…even though you can snap a pic then take the pkg???

Not really. If you've been in feeder long, the doorstep part of package has changed drastically. Close to 90% of houses have some kind of doorbell cam, and there are also tons of full-on security camera systems. Even if you are at a house without one, there are enough recordings at neighboring houses, that they would probably see you. And, the cameras are no longer private islands... Lots of jurisdictions coerce homeowners to register their cameras with local law enforcement. Also, there are apps like "Neighbors" that share neighborhood camera footage and other BS like a digital neighborhood watch program.

You are trespassing on someones property, and you think it is a good idea to take pictures?

Doesn't protect from any claims. the only way to protect something is to hand it to someone. The only thing we do is leave it on the porch and leave. Plenty of time for someone to walk up and take it.

Or delivering to the wrong house

The picture has nothing to do with delivering it to the wrong house. There is gps for that.
