Again, a 7 year old thread...

You don't really have to know it...but that aside, why the are you driving and not know it. Everything on the commentary and seeing habits is the best way to drive. Knowing them makes you a better driver and less likely to get in an accident. Everyone thinks these rules ups has is stupid but that works. Gets you and everyone else on the road home safe to their families.

If they didn't and re posted they would get crucified on here about using the search function. Even though the search function is horrid.

There's a big difference in practicing them and being able to recite them verbatim.

I think the company should at least pay us on the clock to learn this stuff.

lol. Spoken like a true Union man.

If it's something they want you to know you bet your ass they better pay you.


No one is under any obligation to study this on their free time.

Except that UPS believes being able to recite them is more important.

The thing is, when the noob posted, a warning came up: This thread is older than dirt, are you sure you want to post?

and then the noob posted anyways.

It is interesting to note that the rules for backing have changed.

How much study time do most drivers need to remember depth of knowledge questions?

This is what I tell my supervisor every time I'm asked DOK.
I'm a Circle of Honor employee. Enough said!

I have broken my share of mirrors over 30 years.

Still have a box of replacement mirrors at my satellite center in case I ever am in need another one.

I'd need probably at least half an hour a week

I just had an Unavoidable hit while parked! Center MGR said that she would have parked in the same spot I did. Barely any damage to my truck, just a scratch as big as a dollar bill. No damage to the guy who admitted fault.

Your center manager must have already reached her warning letter quota for the month.

Had my annual safety ride two weeks ago, "Do you know DOK, 8 keys...". My response was "No", "Ok, sign here". See you next year.

Being able to recite it verbatim like a robot does not making one safer than one who can not. One of safety committee members who is a safety star(and butt kisser) has had more avoidable accidents and injuries than most.
