Christmas Eve drop boxes...

I was talking to my boss about this today before our air came in. He said that with some Friday volume missed, it is very hard to plan for Monday. I thought it would be very easy, take Friday's plan, subtract the stops delivered and we should know from that what we will be seeing that is not forecast for Monday. Puts me at about 20 stops heavier than forecast.

Could be a late night.

You took it upon yourself to close out your drop boxes early? You should be thankful you are still working here.

To the OP--we were told to make a sweep of our drop boxes but not to scan them---an air driver would sweep them on his way to the airport.

I guess i'm lucky we all make mistakes....Id say you will get a warning letter because they had another drive cover you as long as they like you LOL. I actually learned my lesson and never cheat or try to get done if I have to wait I sit there and wait... easy money

We were told to pick up the drop boxes on our routes when we were done delivering. I hit both the boxes on my route before 2 pm today.

A little side note: the subject of Christmas deliveries came up in the same discussion...If it gets into the next contract, they better be paying us triple time.
