Rumor Has It
The plus is the elimination of the "key on the finger" delivery method. No putting the key in the ignition. No putting the key in the bulkhead door. Sources say the company expects to recover the cost of retrofitting it's entire fleet the first year in time savings by changing driver methods. They also will benefit from increased security by drivers being unable to leave their keys in the truck.
The only real negative I can see is during severe cold weather, when the truck will not stay warm unless left running, the drivers will be freezing their asses off, because the truck will shut down when the FOB moves away from the vehicle. Of course I can see where drivers will leave the FOB in the truck while they make the delivery. A new terminating offense?
I love new Technology. Obviously so does the company.





What if the company has a more grand idea. They are also changing every lock to a individualized key to prevent a disgruntled employee from stealing or tampering. What if this is all preparedness for July 31,2013? A union busting effort? Something to think about....
