Those PA UPS drivers..

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I make sure I walk completely around the truck before I leave the property. Plus, at my little center many of us stop by our personal vehicles to grab lunch boxes, backpacks, etc., so it's hard to miss the opportunity to at least check the back door before we leave.

In a bigger center they would try to fire you for stealing time.

How bout slow down. 70 mph, left lane? In such a hurry he didn't pull off his load chart. Obviously didn't have time to do a pretrip.....

I have to be running down hill and drafting someone to do 70 in my truck, usually can only get to 67 with the $$&&@ govenour

You left something out there buddy

Chain is "supposed" to be secured before you leave the building and before you return to the building after last stop. Many drivers get in a hurry and don't do it.

youre also supposed to exit the driver side to deliver a package from the rear door. that doesnt ahppen either

I do not understand why they can't just install a light on our dash alerting us of the rear door/doors are open.

I know some trucks have rear doors that don't always shut flush to the floor but they could install a sensor that would go on of the door was up past a certain point. Or, in the case of barn doors some maybe 2 sensors.

Yeah that's what we need a few more sensors

You want another telematics report? Because that's how you get one.

I worked with a guy that never did a single pretrip that I ever saw, and he left the building with his door up just like that. Three times. Lucky he was a great bonus driver and so it was never any issue. Neither was the time the same genius sideswiped the auto close gate at the airport. Or "forgot" to set his parking brake and rolled backwards into a fence. While he was walking away to deliver. Yep. It could happen to absolutely anyone. Three times.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

I have barn doors. I ck my camera as I go.

I was told they already know when our rear door is open if they check.

Also a horn doesn't show up on telematics report so this doesn't mean that would have to.

We have no way of knowing if you're rear door is open or closed.

You're right, the horn doesn't. But I wouldn't put it past them to start tracking it.

 

[MC4YOU2]

It tracks what they want it to track. Just because it doesn't today, doesn't mean it can't or won't tomorrow.

If the camera is angled down enough you can see the door in the monitor.

Egads! More sensors and wires to get smashed and destroyed to in cargo area. No, thanks!
