[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 669490, member: 22610"] EmerCond, perhaps a program like that would work well. If the company gave rural drivers an incentive to indirect residential packages to businesses, it could save thousands and thousands of miles every day in the US. There is, in fact, a disincentive to indirect rural packages, it reduces miles, reduces time on the clock, reduces bonus. In the old days, when we had to get signatures for every package, rural drives had these "card files" with note cards saying where packages could be indirected, and signature cards for those that could not. Once we started driver releasing packages, there was very little incentive to leave a rural route package in town where the guy works. If, for example, the company gave a special allowance for every residential package that is indirected to a commercial address, we would see a lot more of that. Since UPS collects a $2.05 surcharge for residential packages, even if they are indirected, if they shared some of that money with drivers, they would reduce miles, planned day, and bonus payments.
