[QUOTE="!Retired!, post: 2586145, member: 24309"] We've had that happen more than once. Only once though, the package was so important (paychecks, I think) they went to look at the camera footage and it showed it made to the end by the CSA. I think they sent it out with a mid-day route. I used to have a medical bulk stop. A package was SIPPED for them. I had no VAN or POD on it. My, then, manager wanted me to sign an OLCC for the missing package. I told him, if I didn't have a VAN [B]OR[/B] POD, how can he say it was ever on my truck? **Blank stare**...end of conversation. I've had exactly 4 traces in 17 years of 'Where is the package you released?'. If it's not in plain view for the recipient but not from the street, I put comments in. 3 of the 4 times the package was right where the comments said. Don't the CSA's read the comments? I didn't say we didn't have late freight. There were many times we didn't leave the building until 10:30-11:00 with double my normal stop count. Yes, my station now is very well run. When it's predicted heavy volume, we start early, if we can, they ask PM'ers to come in early (most are eager for the hours), add to that the temps and runners (very few of those), 20+ rental trucks, etc we do OK. We have days where our station volume is literally double and still somehow manage. Rolling freight IS an option, but it's a last resort....not a safety net. I don't plan on leaving, but my SM is planning to retire soon (5-7 years) and my manager has his eyes on his position. The 2 other stations within reasonable driving distance are not well run, so it's either move to another state or stay and pray nothing changes. [/QUOTE]
