I was prepared for that call, and guess what a 5pm commit pickup is next door. They signed for it today, no issues.

The center can message me and I'll tell then between 10:30-11:59 or 1:01and 4:59. I'm not required to call anyone.

Lol it's not my first day pal. Management gave me the okay. I have plenty of room in a 1300 don't you worry.
The next day was great I had no issues.

Why would he call anyone?

Is that a service we offer?
Is the company now providing its drivers with cell phones so that we can call the customers in order to make delivery arrangements?
The underlying problem here is that the customer is having packages shipped to a location where no one is available to sign for them. It is not reasonable for them to expect us to call and wait while they drive across town to come sign for them. They need to either (a) have the storage unit staff sign, (b) leave signed delivery notices or (c) sign up for MyChoice and do an electronic signature.

Im not going to wander all around a customers building for 20 minutes begging for a signature.
If the underlying problem is that no one at a business is willing to sign...then having to pay shipping charges in order to reship the 100 piece bulk stop we RTS's will help them to develop that willingess in the future. Sometimes you have to force the issue, if you dont they will just keep jerking you around every time to try to make a delivery.
I RTSed a 200 piece stop one time. It was a hardware store distribution center that didn't bother to tell me that they would be closed for inventory when I delivered the day before. This was about twenty years ago in the good old days when management had our backs. I was driving a van (straight truck), and they were the first bulk stop. This place had a reputation for jerking drivers around. I called my supervisor, he drove out in a P-1000 and took the boxes off of me. UPS didn't play games back then.

Exactly, it's not my job to call anyone, i don't get paid for my phone calls. Plus the outlet village is only 5 mins away but it will easily take them 30 mins to get someone to come down and sort it out. They're just not bothered in the slightest.
Our center manager just got fed up with it and having to have a driver wait for them. The other storage unit round the corner that has units for the outlet will happily sign for anything, them i will happily help out as much as possible.
Piss off your UPS driver and you'll get no help

And make it part of the stop that you need to use your personal cell phone everyday? No.

Will Scott Davis give me a few of his stock options?
Will my Sup lend me his 2nd car so I can get to work my car is in the shop?
Will UPS give me a phone to make such calls?
Will UPS pay for my boots?
If they don't give above and beyond the contract, why should I? Perhaps back in the day when I was given a turkey. When they actually celebrated founders day. When they gave out safe driving awards. But now they want to give us nothing that isn't contractual. So I think it is best that I don't give anything more then what I am contracted to do.

Make friends with your mechanic and he might be able to help you out at a reasonable price.

Our center recently pushed our start time forward to 9:30 (9 on Mondays). My first ground delivery stop is Walmart. The receiver likes to take her break between 9:45 and 10. She could care less that our start time changed and will take her break unless I call her to let her know that I am on my way.
Why do I do this? It is much easier for me if I get rid of Walmart first rather than having to work around it and go back. Yes, I could go there, knock on the door, be told she is on break, scan the air and leave a delivery notice, but it is so much easier to call her just before I leave the bldg.
If it were my area and I knew that I had to have someone meet me at a delivery point I would most certainly call them ahead of time.

Must be nice to be high enough in seniority to not have to worry about being furloughed for the day because drivers like you make it easy for UPS to cut routes.

I think ours are the same. Somehow, I have evaded that stop. I must figure out what I am doing right. Other than being on comp, that is.
