I think I may have heard something of this service, I was under the impression that this would be a second attempt later in the day when the customer is home. Please correct me if I'm wrong. So basically your reattempting your send agains which shouldn't be that many anyway. It would add a few more miles to your day.
no, when you scan it when you are loading your own vehicle, the beeping scanner will sound different & you look down and see the PM delivery service! just like those dircet signature sounds for alcohol or those appointment delivery scans...
put that aside and alert your manager if there are others in your service area that are dispatching at a later date... maybe they can take it off your hands if you're done your route early normally (some are done by 3pm)
managers may find someone else to do it for you & will delete it from your manifest, or
they'll give it to your contractor for him to hand-sheet that at the later time himself
or i've seen a manager do it for the contractor on my 1st hand experience.
-------------------------------
I usually come in later in the day (930AM-10) then sort/ pack my van by 11AM... i'll be out until 8PM daily & sometimes i'll get stuck with those pm delivery packages.
I'll take it because I am out there that late anyways & will call the customer 30 minutes to 1 hour before I make the first attempt, just to warn them that I'll be there knocking on your door that late for a signature
Sure, I've recently learned my ways of getting paid by the hour last peak & is just coming back to work for contractors around my kids' school schedule (FT summer, PT saturday only)
