[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 908028, member: 12570"] My timecard was always adjusted whenever I made "deliveries" on my way home. I would either call them when I made my last stop or they would simply add 15 minutes to my punch out time. It has been a while since I have been asked to do this but the last time that I did it was for a neighbor in my condo complex. It was medicine that had to be signed for and since she works all day she was not home. The driver either was not able to or was too busy to try to indirect (it was NDA) so it was NI1. In our center all NDA send agains are kept at the end of the belt so I just happened to see it as I was doing my PM turn in. I brought it to my on-cars attention and asked him if he would like me to drop it off on my way home. He said yes and that he would adjust my time card accordingly. I got 15 minutes of OT from UPS and a 12 pack of Coors Light from the consignee. danny, you are right about one thing--if something needs to get done I do it but even I have limits. One of my previous routes was in Lake Placid (NY), which is a ski resort town. I had a very large delivery for a local business. The owner asked if I could instead deliver it to her house, which was not on my area and would have easily added 30-40 minutes to my day. I declined. She then offered me $40. I again declined and proceeded to bring the packages in to her business. She was not happy but I imagine she got over it. Our center manager recently went above and beyond for two customers. We had two separate cover drivers RTS paychecks for two of our local jails. The center received concerns on both packages after the feeder had left for Albany. The center manager called Albany to have the packages held there, drove down to pick them up (2 hours), drove back and then to each location, delivering the last one around 11pm. Now, before all you Joe Unions out there bitch about a supervisor working, the work was offered but no one wanted it, so the center manager did what he felt he had to do and took care of the customers. If it were me, I would have had Albany put them on the plane with the Saturday air, but that's just me. [/QUOTE]
