Abney wants mailbox access.

[BlackCat]

Was bit by a dog reaching over a gate/fence this past summer. center manager was and said I should EC any future deliveries when a dog is present. I run a rural route and most everyone has a dog. Maybe one day this week I will EC the whole damn truck.

I had a lady call in a concern that her dog ripped apart her package and wondered why I stopped leaving packages at the front door.

That would be hilarious.

Walk them puppies. That's why we make the big bucks

You realize there's people with literally 2 mile long private "driveways" [roads]. You going to walk 4 miles for a stop? Granted, the vast majority of these are passable in a PC but there's some bad ones.

UPS: We can give consumers 'much better service' with mailbox access



Not sure how delivery to a mailbox gives UPS a closer connection to the customer than their porch.

By “closer connection” he really means, faster service & not needing to pay drivers for all that walking! You hit that nail right on the nose! Lol This would certainly get interesting

Leave it behind a tree 50 feet up the driveway. In a bag.

Yes.

Not much fits in a mailbox anymore. Would we get low rider package cars with right sided steering too? Many would have a ton of in cab distractions. Have never seen a postal carrier without in cab distractions.

And some look like they’re collecting dogs. Lol. I have a guy who has four Saint Bernards Another house has about 6 mixed breed lab type dogs. When I knock it’s like there is a dog in every window barking.

Plenty of surplus Humvees are available.

More a problem of clearance. Smaller package cars will fit but forget anything bigger.

Yes, the biggest problems are how narrow some are and low hanging tree branches or even wires.

 

[Indecisi0n]

I LOVE when people let their flea bag out.

Less walking I have to do on any future deliveries.

Agree, wives should stay inside at all times.

 

[Mooseknuckle]

At my building they are starting to DQ drivers that HR told were going to be permanent FT. We all knew they were just sesonal.

They're doing that a lot of places.

It should be the responsibility of the property owner who is isn't accessible for a UPS driver to arrange a way for packages to be delivered or hold everything to the center for pickup.

Who orders a package UPS or FedEx knowing a truck can't get to the house?

A whole lot of people.

I continue to lobby for “gate” as a driver release option in the diad.

We have it. You really don't?

 

[onewithedd]

Abney will probably spend another 800 million having IE re-loop our routes to make sure we get to stuff the mailbox before the mail carriers can get to it.

 

[PT Car Washer]

They're doing that a lot of places.

One new guy told me he quit his FT job because UPS told him he had a good chance at being hired FT after Peak. SUCKER. Actually I felt sorry for him and a lot of other seasonal that HR lied to.

 

[DumbTruckDriver]

We have it. You really don't?

Nope. Our other delivery locations are carport, something I can’t remember and never use, patio and shed. I’ve asked out on roads repeatedly about adding gate as an option, but they say they can’t do anything about it.

We have it on the same screen as patio and carport. Don't think I've ever seen shed though.
