Nope.
I was double parked at a drop box and I had already scanned the bar code when I was asked to move forward so that someone could get out. It showed up as a recording in travel.

I sent an ODS letting them know what happened.

I wouldn't scan the box decal early and put myself in that position. Since you are basically stuck there anyway, you have nothing to gain with the early scan.

I always scan the barcode and any packages the minute that I get there. I have one thumb on the stop complete button and the other on the key fob when it is within one minute of the commit time and leave as soon as the stop is completed.

I have 5 drop boxes to do before I close out the UPS Store so, yeah, I like to get that last one done on time.

Veterans with 20 or more years of service who refer to their dispatchers as Skippy and whine constantly about their runs crack me up.

The terms of service prevent me from posting what we usually call our dispatcher. As far as my route goes, I like it until they add ridiculous splits that don't tie in. When they do that, I just turn on turtle mode and get it done safely.
Apparently you closed it out while the car was in motion as something only shows up as recording in travel if the vehicle is moving... If the Vehicle is on and not moving it recording while idling. If the vehicle is off and is stopped or moving it won't show up on either list... letter box pick ups aren't any different that any other pickups or stop complete deliveries as to recording while moving or idling...
I love when I drive last a LB and see 10 boxes sitting on top of it.

I can't believe anyone would chance picking up a box early and then stop completing later. All it takes is one customer dropping a NDA before the posted time and finding out the next day that their envelope didn't get to its destination. Customer calls in and here we go....

Believe it or not before all of this micromanaging it used to happen all the time. Drivers would have the drop box bar code numbers written down in their pkg cars. It was not uncommon for the driver to be several miles away when completing the stop.
You are right in that you would have to be crazy to chance it today.

...and if you are in a college town most of those would be going to Cheggs....
Doesn't matter open or not only matters when you stop complete pickup or delivery that is the only time that board sends that's information. If what you say is true that you could be walking and it would be seen as recording while moving...
As you need to understand you can do anything on your DIAD (except closing stop completing a pickup or delivery) including sending messages while driving and it will not show up on any recording while idling or driving report or even any report....
