[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 476604, member: 12570"] The weather conditions in my center mirror those in yours and our injury/accident rate is not adversely affected by the weather. We are told not to put ourselves in to situations which we are unsure of and to use EC for those deliveries which we feel that we cannot safely attempt, We are also asked to do all that we can to contact the consignee to see if there is an alternate address that we can deliver the pkg to. The center will also establish curfew times to ensure that we all get off the road in time for our P/U pkgs to make service. I agree with you that at times their logic stupifies me as they also cut routes here knowing full well we have a storm due that day. Yes, it would make sense IMO to perhaps add a route or two and get us all off the road at a reasonable time but we both know that there will still be those drivers who will stay out regardless of whether they were given help or not. If the center knew that the drivers would go out, deliver, and then bring it in they may be more likely to add a route or two during a storm. [/QUOTE]
