[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1255260, member: 14668"] The company made a business decision to maximize profits by allowing drivers to release residential stops without obtaining a signature in order to increase productivity. It has [I]also[/I] made a business decision to maximize profits by understaffing the operation and dispatching routes with workloads that pretty much force the drivers to choose between taking shortcuts with the DR methods or bringing the stops back as missed. One of the [I]natural and inevitable consequences[/I] of these business decisions is that the company will occasionally be required to pay claims on missing packages. Since the increased labor costs of requiring a signature for each package would [I]far[/I] outweigh the cost of paying such claims, the company has chosen (wisely, I feel) to accept claims as part of the cost of doing business. Since the company also made a business decision to enter into a contract that has specific protections for the drivers in regards to being forced to pay claims, how is it "hiding behind the contract" when a driver uses that language?
