I have an idea to save money.. lets cut out all of the forced overtime
I had a similar DR claim a few months ago. I delivered to a lady who goes to our church (the gall) a (1) schoolhouse desk (DV $300) from Pottery Barn. She recently had back surgery, as my wife made a dinner for her family while she was in the hospital. As a goodwill gesture towards someone who was on the mend, I placed the large package just inside the front door. They have 2 grade school age children. About a week later, here comes the follow-up for a desk never recieved. I have on the follow-up MC Woman and she still claims non reciept. Claim. Second desk comes in a couple of weeks, signature required (by ups). What was even more wierd, was the day after I delivered the desk in question, her husband (employed at a business I deliver to) asked me "Is my wife still ordering crap?" I told him had made deiliveries to his residence (other items besides desk). He said he was going to put a stop to that. I told all this to the LP guy at our center. He said bottom line was if I couldn,t get her to sign the follow up, they would pay the claim.typical lack of communication at this place!!! i also had a tracer{follow up} for a Nodic Trac. remember those big pigs?? humped it up ice filled driveway & put on the back porch! Big $$ item.Safe dr..Week later i get the follow up.''.nope we never got it '',Supe says ..yah sure you left it at the right house?? AAAAAH yah ,i remember that place..Couple days later they get new one {with a signature] Week later I go by on trash day,,TWO Norda trac boxes out front!!! I do the right thing & call L.P..guy at house thanks me a month later he got his claim $$$ Unbelievable ??? No U.P.S !!

Love the idea!! Where do we sign up?Watch out for what you wish for...UPS may take you up on that. I can see it now. You are forced to come in and punch out in 8 hrs. Then a part-time driver will take your vehicle and finish your route. A unique concept if they could pull it off.
And don't you think it's funny, when they have the pcm and how to lift boxes properly, and never to go by the weight on the label!This problem with people cheating on weights has been pointed out for years and nobody seems to have done anything about it. I've been retired for five years and this was a pet peeve of mine that I even wrote the CEO on. I guess nothing has been done. Some drivers don't care what the package says when they pick it up, and auditers never talk to or see the drivers. This would be easy to fix, instead we just kiss the money goodbye. STUPID!
I have a shipper in my area that sends high value airplane hardware to Honeywell, Mcdonnel Douglas (sp) etc. It's usually 6-8 boxes every week that are about the size of large bar fridges .They do not own a scale,and they use old style waybills.They always write 10 lbs in as the weight.When I brought this to the attention of our head of operations,he nodded,gave me an unconcerned look and said don't worry,we have procedures in place that will catch the discrepancies and bill them accordingly.I know this is a line of crap,so I have given up trying to get this fixed.If they don't care.why should I?
I have become jaded by the know it all mentality that permeates mngmt.

Your job is to deliver and pickup and not worry about overweights, let ups worry about them, u r so right
You must have been in the GOOD 'ol boys club. My wife woulda been fired first and then reinstated after a hearing and once the pictures of the boxes were seen. but they would deny her the backpay for some obscure scandalous reason and stick it to our FAMILY AGAIN. UPS mgmt. especially "*****" labor manager discriminates against those they don't sleep with or drink with or like. TRy that shoe on for size!
UPS used to hire AUDITORS who would check packages loaded/ unloaded. I suppose they got rid of this position thinking it was easier to fire the drivers with the UNIONs help rather that employ some common sense and AUDIT for FRAUD.<----I don't think UPS has this division esp not FOR drivers they are concluded guilty until proven innocent by mgmt own eyes and they (mgmt) are covering their eyes with the teamsters contract book in hand.
they are just phishing for new mgmt!!! You will soon be directed by one of these snot nosed know it alls and told YOU don't know YOUR JOB! ENJOY!

Most already forfeit it AND work faster and harder. The rub being more injuries.Mine idea is even better.
Give the drivers a whole 1 hr unpaid lunchbreak (10 minutes extra).
That will make the drivers even work faster and harder to keep up, or forfeit it and work for free
