Cameras – UPS trucks are equipped with driver cameras that record what the driver is doing at the time of the crash—such as texting, talking on the phone, or falling asleep behind the wheel.

Are UPS drivers monitored?

UPS is implementing new technology that allows management to monitor drivers like never before. The technology enables management to track drivers at all times through telematics, a system that combines data from the DIAD, GPS and more than 200 sensors mounted on the package car.

What happens when a UPS driver gets into an accident?

If a UPS driver caused a car accident during the normal course of their duties, you would technically sue the company. This is also known as respondeat superior; where an employer is liable for negligent acts caused by the employee while that employee was on duty.
