When someone tells you that they can't, won't, or choose not to sign for something. That is a refusal to sign. Sheet as refused and RTS.
Last week I signed for a bulk stop at the post office. I signed the employees name who normally signs. I told the center that no one came to sign after about ten minutes and that I signed. They told me ok and to keep it moving. They brought me in to the office a few days later and took me out of service. Earlier that week a supervisor had me sign for some air so it was not late. Has any at your center been fired for this at your center and did they get their job back?
why do you deserve to work for this company?

Seriously folks:
Painfull as this may seem, here is what I have instructed my drivers to do.
Walk around the building, go to front desk, ask for Post Master of the office, tell them the regular person who signs is not there and no one will sign and you need someone to come to the back and sign. So far my center is 100% on getting a signature. If this does not work sheet as NI 1 and keep moving.
Hope this helps.
Either refuse it and send back. I would have called the office and asked "what do you want me to do?"
It's never ok to sign for someone else. If this is the only black mark in your book you will probably get your job back at the local hearing, they just want to make sure you learn your lesson. Next time either find someone to sign no matter how long it takes or driver release it. They won't like the driver release but at least it's not dishonest.

Let me ask a question that has stuck on my mindI have DRd bussines stops that were wide open with no one around. I have RTSd when people get snippty and refuse to sign. But I have never signed for someone. No matter how you look at it it is a cardinal sin.DRing may be improper, but it is honest. Had an on road who was teaching me a route slip an envelope under a door because the bus was closed 12-1. He said, "DR it. By 1 we'll be too far away in our RESIs to come back. Don't sign for it. That's DISHONESTY"

You say do not sign for someone else is that using their last name or yours
Say for example you go to a business and the person is unable to sign for whatever reason do you use their name or yours ( can one way be better or both are bad )
Now say you have a pkg for a friend that needs a sig , but he is not home and ask you to sign it for him do you do it
And if you do it do you use your last name or his
I agree with firing the driver. That's dishonest, pure and simple. We don't need people like that.
I have seen decent, hardworking and fundamentally honest drivers who have bent the rules because they truly thought they were doing the right thing.
