[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1278904, member: 14668"] Dogs and cows running in the road are an emergency situation, not something I deal with on a regular basis. When I have picked up dogs its because I know where they live, which means they are on my route and I have deliveries for nearby addresses. I kept a dog in the back for over an hour once and did 7 or 8 stops on my way to where it lived so that I wouldnt lose time or waste miles getting it home. Calling the owner (if it has a tag) and letting them deal with it is always the first and best option but it isnt always possible and oriority #1 is preventing an accudent by getting the dog off the highway. I will agree that UPS isnt paying me to play dog catcher but if it jumps into the truck and I can get it home with a minimum of lost time or miles that is a much better choice than shoving it out of the truck and into the path of an oncoming car. It also bears mentioning that I have informed my management team when these incidents have occured and I have yet to be reprimanded in any way. Sent using BrownCafe App [/QUOTE]
