[QUOTE="Puck, post: 304774, member: 14253"] [B]Why dosen't ups utilize technology better?[/B] Because they seem to live by, if it aint broke dont fix it [B]Why doesn't the diad prompt you at the end of the day to remind you to put in your lunch?[/B] its your job to keep track of your lunch/break time [B]Why do drivers need to put in the cod amount manually?[/B] its UPS, an actual person has to be held accountable to service failures or errors, to UPS the customer doesnt want to hear " there was an error in the system" ect.... Also UPS wouldnt be able to take money out of the check of a driver who got the wrong COD amount because the DIAD was wrong ect. [B]Why do drivers need to manually enter over 70 lbs pkgs?[/B] I have often wondered this myself, I think because in some cases due to the SIZE of a package, the shipper is paying for DIMENTIONAL weight for a package that weights up to 70lbs but it actually weights 30 and that is not an overweight... I think it also enables the bosses to get accurate statistics as far as your over/under... top be honest Ive heard supervisors often tell guys to make sure they do it so they get the time allowance credit for the stops that have overwieghts [B]Couldn't these things be encoded in the bar code?[/B] same answer as above, sometimes customers are paying for dimentional weight and not actual weight... [B]Why do they put options in the "other non del" field then tell[/B] [B]you not to use them?[/B] I think with the increased emphasis on customers service over the last 2 years, most of those other options for non del arent viable excuses to not deliver a package... I was once told by a supervisor that if a road was closed, get as close as you can to the stop within reason and walk it off.. [B]Why are closed stops sometimes recorded as "closed holliday" and sometimes "Future del"?[/B] I was told by a supervisor was closed holiday is only allowed on holidays that UPS recognizes as holidays and it does not count toward the 3 attempt policy.....when you future a package, that counts as 1 attempt... the future date is the 2nd and the 3rd is the following day... [B]Why are late air, that was delayed by bad weather, recorded as "other" and not "weather"?[/B] another question that Ive asked management and been told that WEATHER is only ok when CORPORATE puts allows a weather exception to be placed on those late air packages... sometimes weather is the cause, traffic, air port delays ect but corportate didnt place a weather exception on it... still kind of doesnt make sense but Ive also been told that the air operation plans for possible issues such as traffic and minor weather and its someones job to make sure those air packages arrive to the buildings on time [B]I have been at ups for 30 years and I still do not understand them.[/B] 30 years is a long time.. congrats to you for being able to deal with it all LOL [/QUOTE]
