NDA commit times

Wrong. Businesses in a 10:30 commit time area have a 15:00 commit time for NDA savers. I learned that the hard way[/QUO We are referring to residentials.

I thought we were talking about resies.

And they're real commit times too! Can't cheat anymore. Like when we used to have to tear the NDA label off of the package and write the consinee name in and the delivery time. If they were late, you simply wrote 10:25 on the label. And with EDD, untill recently you could keep an air on ice by scanning it before commit time and stop complete upon delivery. That's a cardinal sin now.

They truly have taken all the fun out of it haven't they.

That was how Air drivers got extra work. The better you were at cheating late air the more work you got.

I have noon and 10:30 commit times. Many of my 10:30s are a lot farther away then the noons.

My route is 12:00 commit on air

I used to call the rural route NDA's and confirm whether or not they needed them by noon. Nine times out of ten they didn't--they just needed it that day sometime. I would then sheet it as needed to make commit time and deliver it at my convenience. No harm done.

It's a different world. Shippers are now getting what they paid for.

Are they really? From what I read on here there is a lot of trick recording by management when it comes to miss loads and missed packages. And what about all that Emergency Conditions BS that goes now days. At least back when I delivered we did just that--DELIVERED.

I like that porkwagon dude---he agrees with just about everything I post

Good point but did you ever throw a package back in your pickups instead of running back for it? No tracking, no GPS, no clue.

I should use that as a tag line

Businesses have a 15:00 commit time for Savers. Residential commit time is 23:59.

change your zip code on your delivery screen to adjust your commit time to whatever you want!!! air on trace!

Yes?

 

[Brownslave688]

Zip codes.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Not hard stuff

 

[DumbTruckDriver]

I've delivered to a resort that has two different addresses on the same property. It just so happens that the line that divides 12:00 commit times from no commit times goes right between those two addresses. Crazy.

Thanks for the Info guys that's interesting!

On paper, you also had to sheet the NDA stop in sequence with your other stops in that area with the del time that matched the tear off label. This caused a few times when you'd just sheet that one stop on a separate page. That is also impossible now.
My last bid had no NDA commit on anything in that zip. That's one reason I took it. The only bad thing was a few times when new customers would sit waiting for me to get there by noon and I'd roll casually at 4pm.
