[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 586798, member: 484"] Upstate A good sup will tell you "hey, this got missed, or what ever the situation is. Can you deliver it on your way home. I'll add 15 minutes to your day to compensate for that delivery". He will not ask you to run packages for people off the clock without payment. As for the next day air for your neighbor, you are being a neighbor, not a UPS man. You signed for the package and took it to your neighbor, just like if you had been home when the UPS man tried to deliver it the first time. The problem with many drivers is twofold. First, they get walked over by sups over time, and it becomes a daily thing to deliver packages "on your way home". It ends up getting abused. Secondly, many drivers that are on the same route develop relationships with the customer that goes past just delivery of packages. You make friends, some end up lifetime friends. Where do you draw the line........ Best thing is to get some compensation for the delivery, and get the person to sign for the package, or at least document where you left it. I have seen things come back to bite the good Samaritan. d [/QUOTE]
