Front door delivery request

[Cementups]

Agreed...I was referring to the Richards that watch the driver lug each set of tires or packages up to the door...and after the 5th and final trip from the PC...ask him to move them all from the FD to the garage.

Well, if I've already dropped off everything and heading back to the truck, I all of a sudden become deaf and wave as I drive away. Can't hear them over my radio anyway.

They will stand at the door and watch then wait until you have lugged the last package -past the garage- to the front door before saying anything.

Of course...it's not like the driver is in a rush or anything... he's got all day to move your stuff!

 

[oldngray]

Hey! Where are you going! They said you would assemble my Nordic Trak for me!

Lugged 2 carts of paper to an office, go get sig, secretary says, "can you take 2 cases to this office, 2 to that office and the rest to our storeroom??"

No.

I knew of a driver who had unloaded a bulk stop inside a customers overhead door, the owner told him that the packages go behind the counter and well, the driver replied, "If I did that, I'd be working for you"

No.

Had one of those about a year ago. After lugging in the 2nd 4-wheel load in, the woman says "oh, half of those go upstairs to suite xxx", I told her they all go to one place, she proceeds to call a co-worker who verifies what she thought. I said it's all staying here. She was pretty pissed, but reluctantly signed for it all.

Yeah, when I took over my bid route I had to retrain several offices. They had all trained the previous driver to act as their mailroom staff distributing stuff around. I tell them each business gets one delivery point. I'll stick it wherever you want it, but it's all going the same place.

 

[joeboodog]

I tell my customers as long as it's on the cart I will put it just about anywhere within reason. Once it's off the cart it becomes their problem.

A few years ago we had a driver DR a Sleep Number bed on the front porch. I was raining and there was no other place to leave 7 large boxes.
The lady of the house had to call the sheriff to come get her out. He had blocked her front door and that was her only way out.

Next time my entire truck is full from a sleep number bed system, maybe I'll call the sheriff to get me out too!

Her house probably is one of those hoarding houses....her back door must be blocked by 6 feet of garbage.

Truly a hoarder! Lol

Don't clean up your house....just call 911...lol

 

[sortaisle]

Rrrrrriiiiigght. You guys live in or deliver to nice areas then...lol. If I put tires and rims on someones front door the next day I'm all but guaraningteed to be showing up the next day with a lost/claim ticket. I'd rather hand cart them the extra hundred feet to the garage and put them out of sight if possible.

 

[BigBeef42]

Id just try to put them in a place out of sight. tires and rims can run a grand easy.

I'll put tires and rims in the garage if the customer is home to request it, or I have standing orders to put stuff in there. Otherwise I'm very careful about what I do on private property. Despite what some believe we only have a legitimate right to the front porch. We are a delivery company, not the cops with a search warrant.

Although it seems unlikely, is it possible that the front door was indeed the only way of getting in and out of the home?

 

[jumpman23]

No, but it's called service. Going the extra mile makes us the better company. Even if our prices are higher I would have customers choose UPS because of the service I gave them.

Exactly it all about taking pride in your job, even though the company don't give a dam about its employees or customers. And ill be real, I take care of my customers throughout the year, and my customers take careof me like a mother at xmas. All about playing Hollywood and getting that ching ching at xmas lol.

They care about the customers just fine. It's the consignees they don't give a about. And we should try to service the consignees to the best of our ability. But the customer is first...the shipper.
