I worked for a company that used similar van drivers and we experienced outrageous instances of bad behavior from drivers

• pulling over and taking naps
• drinking on the job
• smoking on the job
• stealing communal work supplies from the van
• etc.

Cameras are a major deterrent to this behavior, which we experienced nationally. What alternative solutions would you recommend for avoiding this behavior that doesn't infringe on worker privacy?

Thank you for your response!

Yeah, the guys who were found napping were let go ASAP - can't risk their and others' safety if they're sleepy while driving

We tried van searches but had limited success bc it's "he said she said" when you have two-three shifts a day using the same van. Any tips on how to ID the bad folks appropriately? Especially given we don't have a shift lead at the warehouse at the start/end of most shifts to do an inspection

Agreed software tracking routes would be ideal. Would you believe my company (a major known brand) didn't use it? Ridiculous lmao

When closing out, do you guys wait for everyone to finish and leave together, or do you leave once you finish doing floors and salad bar even if the kitchen or game room isn't done closing yet?

Used to work at Chuck E Cheese. Manager got fired because we didn't leave together and the store got robbed.

That is super interesting. I agree that it'd certainly help with accountability but damn that sounds expensive. We actually just rented the vans from a major provider (e.g. penske, enterprise, u-haul, etc.) so I wonder how the rent vs own math works out

Anyways, thanks for all your responses!
