[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 622383, member: 927"] okay.... Here's how it works to the best of my recollection.... Resi / Comm in the DIAD no longer goes to billing. I few years back, the bill was determined based on how the driver recorded a package. Shippers were upset because they would sometimes be told an address was Residential and sometimes commercial. They were more upset at our inconsistency than about paying the residential surcharge. Today what happens is that a big database looks at how the driver records each address. If an address is predominately residential, it is tagged as a Resi. If its predominately commercial, its tagged comm. If an address is not consistently recorded, there is a way to manually update the resi / comm in this big database. The database is outside of the DIAD. That is what goes to billing. Its worked very well. Resi / comm also can determine a commit time. Many drivers have learned that if they code an address as commercial, the commit time changes to later. That's not good. At some point, corporate will use that billing database to also determine commit time. Of course, the final thing is that you can't DR a commercial address in the DIAD. (I think that's still the case) It does not change allowances. P-Man [/QUOTE]
