[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 554802"] I've actually done cover driving for a bit. I'll admit, I will forge a signature or two if the situation is dire. By dire I mean I had a woman holding a dog with one hand and a baby with the other. I'm not going to ask the woman to let the dog go to bite me or to drop her child (since she'd let go of the dog first anyways!). I just got her verbal confirmation I could sign and that was that. The other time was a $500 COD for a company that wasn't listed on the brokerage sheet. They should have been but UPS dropped the ball again. Anyways, I got their credit card number, recorded her saying I could use it and that was that since there's really no other way I could have gotten that info without her consent. It's extremely rare that I'll do it as you can see and usually there's good reason for it (customer service first). His reasoning is that he just wants more time to relax. He WAS getting back at the depot by 1630 so they put resies on the run. That's when he whined it was too much work and wanted another run or he'd quit. He only cover drives that run because only myself, him and two other drivers has ever been able to do it successfully (and one was there when it was made and had done it for 12 years before the big oil boom. Now he's doing feeder). As to what should happen to him? I say give'em the boot. 1. It's committing fraud (as we're ALWAYS being told) 2. It's actually committing forgery also Both of these are crimes which can result in jail time. I didn't use any names in the reporting. I also talked to my HR department about it and they said I should talk to the loss prevention guy in our depot because I'm apparently still under the gun even though I already reported it in writing. I don't WANT to be a rat about it I'm just not dumb unfortunately so therefore can be held liable in UPS' eyes even though I haven't done anything wrong :( [/QUOTE]
