They pay us nothing for attempts, only actual deliveries. So it costs them nothing to keep sending it out.
But how much does it cost the contractor to keep going back to the same place over and over?

That's why they charge extra.Yeah, that sounds about right. C.O.D. And Direct Signature required are most likely the worst offenders.
But it ain't enough. In this day and age, C.O.D.'s should be abolished altogether.That's why they charge extra.
Usually people that are trying to keep things "off the books" get COD's.But it ain't enough. In this day and age, C.O.D.'s should be abolished altogether.
The cost of gas.But how much does it cost the contractor to keep going back to the same place over and over?
They've jacked the price up on CODs to try and move shippers away from them.Usually people that are trying to keep things "off the books" get COD's.
Many places won't even send the out COD anymore.
I think we charge $10 it may be even more.They've jacked the price up on CODs to try and move shippers away from them.

Still isn't enough. I haven't checked the prices in awhile.$12.50 per package.

Drugs don't usually come COD.Making sure the police don't seize the package, and then they pay for it.

Why doesn't UPS send it's full-time drivers out for Saturday deliveries?

I always felt I should get paid for everything I do. They used to say they don't pay for attempted deliveries because they don't trust you that you went there. I always thought if you don't trust us why send us out with a truckload of your packages dumbaxxes.
Why would you have to take a DNA for a package the terminal failed to get on the proper truck before it was dispatched? Those go against the terminal the same as a misload at ours.You think X gives a rats ass what it cost us......
Belt manager shows up at noon and hands 2 boxes for me to deliver that mysteriously showed up out of no where and all drivers gone.
Wants me to either take it to driver or deliver myself. 10 miles away. I politely say no it will go out tomorrow. The look was priceless, I will take the DNA rather than spend 15 dollars to make 4 dollars. Sometimes I actually wonder if the station management actually knows our settlements and what it actually cost to run the business or do they just see, " hey this guy has 5-10 trucks, he must be making bank...."
