one of the terminals frowns upon DNA (delivery not attempted) unless it was an extreme circumstance... like going close to being out too late (one night when working with a poorly managed contractor, i was out almost @ 2345 ~ a couple of nights out till 2200 until i had to quit & worked for another that had his act together)
Today, for example, I had an area where there was a
HUUUGGEEE street fair & I couldn't deliver to a few addresses because they were blocked off by cones/traffic cops. I called the terminal & got the secretary who told me just code them 07 (unable to deliver or indirect) & write on the box "street fair/ roads are blocked" on the service cross...
I wasn't going to park a couple of blocks & walk it to the addresses ~ well i did for one that was close to the blocked road ~ when i'm not going to waste 30 to 45 minutes weaving through pedestrian traffic to get to my deliveries... for 4 stops
another instance is when I went out on a Sunday a couple of years back during the blizzard to "catch up" on the deliveries; never again since i didn't get paid extra from the contractor for doing so.
Hence, if they want me to be out all night, they're going to pay me hourly rate like
Express...
