[QUOTE="McFeely, post: 2347118, member: 60776"] Depends on what their time is worth to them. I pickup packages one night and deliver them the next day to another customer on the same route, literally less than 5 miles away. Sometimes it's just simpler/easier(?) to put it in the pile of outbound envelopes and let the scheduled driver pick it up than to have the receptionist do it on her own and request reimbursement for mileage, etc. Not to mention some of these big companies have shipping budgets that they want to use. If you've ever worked for a company and had a budget to use each year, you're probably familiar with the "if you don't use the budget, you won't get that big of a budget next year" modus operandi. My opinion? Glad to have the work. Customer's laziness and lack of planning is what pays me to deliver overnight packages :) [/QUOTE]
