[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 907241, member: 12570"] I was foolish enough to do this for a few days several years ago. My helper was a preloader. He would meet me on area at our local college. After we delivered their pkgs we would take the packages for the residential area surrounding the college and put them on the loading dock. He would then break those down by street, load them in to his car, deliver them, and continue doing this until the pile was gone. He would then meet me on area and we would work together until the route was down to where I would be OK on my own. I would give him money for gas. It did save time. The liability issue never entered my mind or if it did it never factored in to the equation. Looking back on it it was a foolish decision which could have ended up very badly for both of us had anything happened. To the OP--you need to tell your driver that you were not hired to deliver out of your own vehicle--if he insists you then need to mention this to your management team. While it can save time it is not worth the potential liability that could arise if something were to happen. [/QUOTE]
