I'm sorry I will let it go
You are 100% correct that what I did was 100% wrong yet I would do it again if the situation warranted.

I agree about grabbing a map and routing yourself. But 120 stops is a lot more then we normally run on Saturday. And having EDD just makes it worse. You get to depending on EDD to help you with the delivery order. After all that is the way you are trained.
I had about 60 or so stops. Over a large area. Didn't get my last noon commit off until about 1430. We had bad weather here in ohio so we were told to sheet as weather. I had 3 on call air I had to do at noon too. Finished the day at 1630.
He's posted previously about doing the same thing. Obviously not worried about it.Upstate if I were you I would ask Cheryl to delete your post. ASAP!
They were my first stop which is the only reason I decided to do what I did. I know that if I had asked my on-car I would have been directed to do exactly what I did. Does that make it right? Absolutely not. Is this a battle I want to fight? Absolutely not.
You designate them all as residential---gives you 4.5 hours to get them delivered on time if they are commercial..
Why not. You didn't decide on the start time.I was certainly not going to start the day off with a late EAM at my first delivery stop.
I always find these days much more difficult to deliver on because we are delivering a much larger area(for me yesterday,about 10 routes worth)with several 12:00 commits.Having to break off at 10:30 so I didn't have any late air(which I ended up having anyway)makes for big time inefficiency.Of course it helps to know the entire area you are doing,but yesterday I knew Zero of mine.That was pretty tough with 125 stops and 35 noon commits!
Does anybody else experience this on air only days?How have you dealt with it to improve?I was going to say something to management before I left but I didn't want to cause problems.It was one of the most stressful days I have had thusfar and have been full time driving for about a year now.Thanks for any responses!
Please don't tell people to do that. It's straight up blatant dishonesty and can get you terminated. If you are a new driver reading this, DO NOT HIT THE RES/BUS BUTTON to mark a business as a residence. You can lose your job.

There he goes again ... you know how Too those Techies can be!I never advised anyone to lie to beat the commit by designating a commercial as a residential. This is wrong and can get you fired. You need to read a bit more slowly and carefully before jumping to the wrong conclusion.
What the hell are you talking about? I am talking about designating the NDA Savers as residential or commercial in EDD, not when you are completing the delivery. Designating the NDA Savers as residential resets EDD to a more logical delivery order and has no impact on the actual delivery. When you deliver the stop you will then designate it as residential or commercial.

Wrong. If you mark a business as a residential it will remove the the saver commit time (3pm) but if you then get a sig for the saver and enter it as a business location (front desk: dock etc) after 3pm the package will come up late.You're mistaken. Hitting the Res/Bus button does not just bump the stop off the top of your list--it also tells your diad that it's a residence so it does not need to be delivered by the commit time. So if you have a business with a saver due by 3pm and hit the bus/res button then show up at 3:30pm to deliver it, you won't be forced to enter the late air reason and you won't show up on a report. Make sense?
To clarify, I'm not talking about residential stops. Obviously it's fine to hit the bus/res button on a res stop. That's what it's there for...
Correct, just did this the other day at a resi , accidentally hit 7 after having a resi sign for an Nda saver around 1800 came up as late air , voided it out and went back and rescanned package and did it the correct way so I wouldn't hear about it the next day.Wrong.

In your example the only way to get around it being late is to not get a sig and use a DR tag (met man/women or just release) or after signature use 1 for residential delivery which would be falsifying records.
