I'm still pondering why that local HD driver is avoiding the OP s home. maybe he's flat salary and not by the stop... Does it take him a couple of min to get to your development from the more dense suburban areas?
I don't know how big an area he covers, but I am about 8 blocks from downtown. Most lots are 50-100 feet wide, the oldest, densest part of the city.
I really think he is trying to get away with alternate day delivery with only doing half his area each day. The clue was the 1:00 pm scan for DNA, and then making the delivery two hours later, after I 'formally' complained. He may have been getting away with alternate days for a long time. I think he was almost back to the terminal, about an hour away, or almost home when he got the call.
I am going to start watching very carefully when it is HD making the delivery. I never had this problem of my package being DNA'd with ground. I know if I had a package on my truck, I generally didn't want to take it back a second day.
I was sometimes 'overloaded' with only 50 stops if enough of them were rural, and if I wasn't going to be done by 7 pm, so I could be home by 8 pm, I would need to decide which area to deliver. But I never skipped a whole town of 80k people, plus smaller surrounding towns.
If he covers the whole county, and has over 50-60 stops scattered around, he needs another driver if he wants an early end to his days.
