[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1045512, member: 32753"] It's called going "above and beyond", "going the exta mile", etc. Some of us don't have a problem with it. We don't think twice. We are rarely, if ever, called on it, and if we are it is not the huge problem you guys make it out to be. I have been instructed before to add packages to another pickup's log. I can see how one would say "it's dishonest", but really? What gregious lie has been told? Why would LP investigating this, especially if the pkgs are scanned? Does the company whose count was inflated get charged more? The only repercussion from doing this is a driver gets proper credit for the pickup piece, as we get little-if any-credit for "special counts". (As an aside, Gamestop pkgs are not "special counts"-returns or internet shipments, so to add them to the special counts is, ironically, dishonest.) I visit pickups multiple times in a day (however, gamestop is not one, unless they ask me to). I am not trying to impress anyone, and I doubt Dave is. I get a deep satisfaction from providing service "above and beyond" what is asked. It keeps the customer happy, which I hope will keep them as customers of brown; besides, hearing "Thanks for helping us out" never gets old. I used to add additional pieces to other pickups. Then my dispatch sup asked me about miles I was travelling "to nowhere". Now I enter such pickups as "unscheduled pickup". I do not get credit for the pickup stop, but I do get credit for the pieces. More importantly, it shows on my delivery record, so it doesn't look like i am just trying to rack up miles. [/QUOTE]
