[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1287493, member: 12570"] big_arrow_up, you sound like a very conscientious driver. Yes, it is tough being a cover driver, because customers like to take advantage of cover drivers and, yes, bid drivers, such as myself, do things that may or may not follow the "letter of the law". If I have a heavy box for an elderly customer I will enter the home just far enough to safely set the package inside against a wall. I have one customer who I trust completely where I will leave certified fund COD's that she hasn't had the time to get the money orders for yet and will swing back in the afternoon to pick them up. I have several customers where I will indirect their personal packages to their business and others where I will sign for and secure their commercial deliveries inside their closed businesses. These are all things that I do not expect nor would I want my cover drivers to do and all things that I know could come back and bite me in the butt if something were to happen. Dilli---it is nice to have you back----you presented a scenario which I hope all drivers, cover or not, will take to heart when dealing with an address that may not be easy to find. I truly hope that there is no correlation between the lazy cover driver and the elderly woman passing away. I couldn't imagine living with the guilt if my lack of caring led to such a tragedy.
