[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 544198, member: 22610"] To think that the post office would like to deliver our unprofitable packages is rediculous. How would UPS pay USPS for the service? How would customers track their packages? And, how would it affect time in transit of ups packages? Simply, it is a case of a dim-witted center manager trying to scare rural drivers into finding some way to cut their miles down. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, your rural drivers will be there long after the center manager is gone. We've delivered to post offices, especially in rural areas, through the BASIC service for a long time. It's a service offered to shippers, and some specific shippers choose it. As for making the closing time at small post offices, well, it's no different that any other business, break off and go make it before closing time. Windshield time is good time. As for drivers just delivering BASIC packages to customers homes, well, it's a mistake because the billing systems sees that the package is now a residential, often a DR stop, and does a billing correction, residential packages being more costly than a commerical account. It's a headache that one doesn't want to have. [/QUOTE]
