California Operators Close Out A Breakthrough Year
The Greater California Livery Association’s annual holiday event took on a more festive tone as the industry stands to benefit from measures that will ease business operations.
It's nearly impossible to travel within any given city in America without seeing the big brown delivery trucks operated by UPS. UPS created their first driver training handbook in 1917 and has improved it ever since.
The company averages less than one accident for every one million miles driven. While 808 delivery drivers were killed in 2006, not one of them was a UPS driver.
Training
UPS drivers spend 20 hours of combined classroom and road training. They have a safety ride at least once every six months where a supervisor observes their practices for a day by riding along or following.
Discipline
Drivers are disciplined for preventable accidents and damage to a vehicle. While discipline isn’t used as a primary tool, there must be consequences for failure to work in a safe manner.
