[QUOTE="buttere, post: 798080, member: 18110"] Congrats Kylew! Some advice I have is to turn on your hazard lights while pulling up to the stop, not after you stop. Also honk your horn a couple times while rolling up to your next stop, then while walking to the delivery point yell "UPS"! This gets the attention of your customer as well as any dogs that may be in the area. I don't do anything with the infonotice until after I'm at the door and have knocked and rang the doorbell. What else are you going to do while waiting a second to see if anyone is home? If there is no answer by the time I fill out the infonotice, I knock and ring the doorbell again, then fill out the service cross on the package. If by this time there is no answer, I am on my way back to the truck. The walk back to the truck is a good time to glance at EDD if needed to plan your next stops. I always try to keep moving packages forward on the shelves to minimize the time and distance I'm walking in the back of the truck.
