This makes no sense since this year UPS started gathering DIAD info to precisely differentiate business/residential and all the variations. And now the DIAD no longer allows business DR when up to a few months ago it would allow it. This is company wide. So I don't understand some locations doing the opposite. So all of your business customers will be paying the residential surcharge?

Nope. Hit rel num then hit commercial. Only done on single piece stops, two or more you get a sidgey.

At a business stop. How often do you ever have only 1 box? Even the smallest get 2 each day

I know it's totally dumb. It's just a way for UPS to lower time standards and add 10 stops to a route.

I don't do it for businesses in town, but for the places out of town who aren't ever there to sign. A lot of the drivers in my center do this. They can't fire someone unless they forge someone's name, there is nothing wrong with signing my own name. I do understand that if I signed my name and the person claimed they didn't get it that I would be responsible, but most of the people out in the country are cool

I'm a cover driver so I just do what the normal driver says and leave the peoples stuff like they would.
So this happened last Thursday actually, I was on a route I haven't done before and its all rural. I have a stop 20 miles one way out and its sig required and they weren't there so I NI1'd it and drove the 20 miles back. The next day I was on the route again and both the regular driver AND my supervisor told me to just sign for the package (sign my name) and leave it because thats what the normal driver always does.

Still not worth the risk, have them do edn, and put a signature release on file.
Ask your supe, if he will put that in writing w the union steward present, releasing u from liability

Shipper release to businesses aren't working anymore. A screen that says dr is not allowed at location comes up and then it wants you to chose relnum or SDN or get a signature.

So I was right all along?
You shouldn't have to create a rule for an issue that should be common sense.
