[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 4264917, member: 12570"] 1. Nope. 2. Let the loader do his/her job----stay out of their way while they are working. 3. Uh.....no. Are you seriously telling this kid to not hand the package to the homeowner but rather to "just drop on the ground and wave on your way back to the truck"? While I do agree that businesses tend to take advantage of the newbies, suggesting that he deliver the packages just inside the door rather than to their designated delivery location is bad advice. 4. This is good advice-----using your meal break to set up your car for the afternoon will save quite a bit of time. 5. Nope and nope. The Over 70 credit is negligible and CIR has all but eliminated the need for commercial signatures. 6. Absolutely; however, fight the urge to punch out just as you are entering the property and absolutely do not punch out while on your way back to the center. This may not seem like a big deal and most likely would not be until you get in to an accident while off the clock. 7. Yuppers. 8. Yuppers. 9. Nope. Invariably you will have those customers who write down the info but don't want to write the check(s) until they actually see the package(s). I had one particular COD customer who was slow to write checks so I would write down all of her COD's, give her the list, deliver the adjacent stops and by the time I got to hers she had all of the checks ready to go. All of this is moot if the kids wakes up this morning and cannot put any pressure on that ankle. [/QUOTE]
