[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 901567, member: 12570"] Wow...that is a whole lot of drivel from someone who builds fish ponds for a living. I will simplify if just for you so that even you can understand this. Say the drop box has a pickup time of 1730. We are paid to pickup the box no earlier than 1730. That does not mean we are not allowed to scan the barcode prior to 1730--it means we cannot complete the stop until 1730 or later. With GPS you would have to be a fool to complete the stop away from the location just to save a few minutes. There is nothing wrong with scanning the barcode and the packages picked up while sitting at the drop box prior to the pickup time. I position my vehicle so that I can see the box at all times so if a customer does come to the box I will go out there and accept the package from them. When the DIAD says 1730 I will complete the stop and go on to the next. I really don't see what part of this you do not understand. As for the ARS/RS/ASD's that I pick up throughout the day, this is how I have been instructed to record them by my center team. We are not allowed to use unscheduled pickup in my center--we are told to add them to a scheduled pickup stop. I used to respect your opinion--not any more. Dave [/QUOTE]
