[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 162596, member: 2193"] aspenleaf--you posted earlier that you had to ask for the stickers and the tape. What is preventing any other employee from asking for the same thing? They are a standard center supply item. The contract states that "The driver shall complete and affix as many additional over 70 pound labels and/or identifying tape as reasonably necessary to provide proper visual identification of the package for safe movement through the system." That seems like clear language as to who is responsible to ensure the packages are marked. It is the responsibility of the center to supply the tape and labels--if they are not doing so, that should be brough to the on-road sup, the center manager and on up the food chain. Responsibility also exists at the driver and local sort level--they need to ask for the supplies and look for them as well. If you need to tell the business manager what to order, the item number of the stickers is 011468. I got this number right from ups.com so there is no big secret on obtaining the supply information. Not sure of the tape order number as it is not listed on ups.com "I would not file against my drivers for something they can't control and I think they'd be in trouble if they refused to accept the package." They can control it and the contract indicates it is their responsibility to do so. The customer has to put an over-70 label on the package so the driver would have the right to refuse a package that is not properly labled--just like an international package missing documentation. The contract has responsibilities on both sides. [/QUOTE]
