Depends on the circumstances.
I was on TAW for 5-6 days until I saw an orthopedic Dr for my injury. He prescribed medication for the pain. Medication the you can't take and drive on a cdl. Can't drive, can't come in for TAW.

This was a case of a (former) center manager trying to make his numbers look good.

Key word being former, how'd it work out?

Last I heard he was painting overpasses.
The driver in question, who was recovering from hernia surgery, is now in feeders.

The intersection audits only get a car number wrote down, its very hard to be accurate grading all points since the stop happens so fast. Plus we have 110 cars leaving my building, which means one intersection gets about 65 cars and the other intersection gets about 45 cars in a half hour period. Like I said, I stand right out in the open and everybody can see me standing next to the road with a clipboard, so a majority of the checkmarks are "safe". We also look for unchained rear rollup doors, even though they aren't on the audit sheet and aren't recorded for Liberty Mutual. Monday morning I had six drivers stop about a thousand feet down the road and run back to check their doors, they were chained when they got to me. The On Area Audits are impossible to grade accurately too, since the observer can't be in a position to see everything on the audit sheet. You would need to be in front of the package car within hearing range to grade everything and have eagle eyesight to see everything on the checklist.
Neither audit sheet has a driver's name on it. I wasn't clocked in on a DIAD while working TAW, my time was entered under "Safety" in the computer at the end of the day. The way I understand it, each Center is supposed to have so many hours counted as Safety Training, this is how Safety Committee members are out doing audits. There are a couple of dozen types of audits done for Liberty Mutual, these are entered into their website as the observer being a non-management safety committee member and doesn't use the driver's name at all. My shop steward does them too, its an easy way for veteran drivers to have an easy day and the newer drivers get a chance to work.

There would have been no time for a drive-off, if you had not delayed the driver with your pompous lecture.
FYI - Don't ever try this stunt anywhere but your own center, or you could end up wearing your ass like a hat.

However there are some people that feel that union gives them a free pass to be a total friend--ing idiot and not have to worry about there job....

At my center, they are all the Greedy overtime types. I have never seen anything good come from the safety committee. It's nothing more than a dog and pony show.
