[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 634125, member: 4653"] Upstate, I agree with you 100% and could have not said it better myself. A small minority don't fit my description of the hard-working, most efficent drivers in the industry. So, why not focus management's attention in this area? Maybe focus it on pre-load misloads? This is my point of contention. Can you believe how much money UPS would save if drivers didn't have to break trace and deliver misloads? If we hardly make a profit on a single residential ground delivery, how can you justify making a driver deliver it off his route? It must be for reputation is all I can think off. Half the people I deliver have no clue when their delivery is to arrive. It always leaves me very un-comformatable when they say "I'm not expecting anything, what is it?" Its a house call and I hand it to him/her, and say "I wonder what it could be?" I need to get back to the truck and continue to deliver while she asks "do you know where this came from? Then a light goes off in her dim mind: OH Wait! I know what it is! Its my kid's backpack, thank you!". Good grief! Why can't I just hand someone a package and walk back to the truck? Why must people ask what it is? How would I know more than them, when its addressed to them? Also, why won't the package scan when a residential customer comes out to meet you, lol? Now, you have to stand there and enter the 1Z when she just wants her bikini from VSC. How cool do we look when this happens???? Ha ha [/QUOTE]
