Thats perverted!I don't always agree with it, but a helper is an extension of the driver.

Then why have a helper. Could run it off much faster myself.They told me I should have been watching the helpers every move.....
Ah yea you would be guilty.....you were driving the get-a-way car.If my helper robbed a liquor store while I was sorting, is that my fault too ?? Oh wait never mind, expect the unexpected,yup that would be my fault !
I take a page out of management's book when it comes to helpers. It's managements job to inform them of thier responsibilities concerning safety and instructions on delivery. If they choose not to follow those instructions it's not my problem, it's managements.
How does a driver ever get ever get forced to pay a DR claim???From the standpoint of liability...there is no way that a driver will ever be forced to pay a DR claim on a package that was delivered by a helper.
But in a nice way.Thats perverted!

I agree and which brings up something I saw posted earlier in another thread.From the standpoint of liability...there is no way that a driver will ever be forced to pay a DR claim on a package that was delivered by a helper.
Who cares about this redundant argument? It's going nowhere and therefore a waste of thread space.The purpose would be discussion of the topic on hand.
There are those drivers, such as bubblehead, who feel that the helper works alone and any concerns/complaints/DFU's caused by the helper are his/her fault.
There are those drivers, such as myself, who feel that they are 100% responsible for every aspect of the helper's job.
I have had one Peak DFU thus far. It was sheeted in the helper DIAD. The consignee claimed to be missing a pair of boots; however, the delivery was actually 3 large packages full of personal stuff for a college apartment. There was no separate package that contained only a pair of boots. I recalled the delivery and completed the DFU as positive even though the consignee was back home on break. The OMS then followed up with the consignee who confirmed receipt of 3 packages. The funny part is that the consignee did not claim non-receipt of all 3 packages but just for a pair of boots. Sounds like Mommy or Daddy forgot to pack them and Junior was trying to get us to buy him a new pair.
The point I was trying to make is that even though the delivery was sheeted in the helper's DIAD we actually made the delivery together. There is no way that I would try to put this on him.
Helper question for the first day: "What's a DIAD board?".That doesn't mean you can watch him every moment. They should provide more than 10 minutes of orientation.
