[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 2584273, member: 64407"] It has been common practice for my entire 40+ years to concentrate on business stops over resi. While Jane Doe might track her package at work and know her Amazon box was delivered late, in most cases no harm is done by delivering it late. She isn't even home. A business delivery might include a contract bid, a machine part to get a factory running again, or even hot paychecks for anxious workers. While resi deliveries are a part of the equation, business deliveries are always gonna take priority. Why do you thing we went with the later commit time on resi SOS? I would imagine 75% of my resi deliveries are not even home when I deliver to them. I know when we have a disruption and straight line, I do 99% business and throw in an occasional resi. As far as bulks, I guess you are just to naive to know why they too take priority. 150 piece bulk or a Amazon box with a widget in it. Which do you think is more critical in the big picture? Nobody likes late deliveries but when they happen, you try to minimize the disruption that late delivery will cause. [/QUOTE]
