[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 891101, member: 22880"] I left a phone message for a former coworker to attempt to scan a Ground package if he got one while doing the pickup portion of his route. He got back to me as soon as he completed his first box with a Ground package in it. Lo and behold, he was able to do an exception at a drop box by scrolling down to the very last option - Ground pick up - and place a scan on the package. When he closed the stop, he stated that it prompted him to print a batch label - which had the tracking number of the piece he just scanned. When I was a Courier, I don't remember any exception like this, so I'm, wondering if they changed the software and didn't tell anyone, or what the heck is going on. Go ahead and try it - and if you can scan Ground packages - scan everyone you can get your hands on. If you are processing non-"express" shipments, then you don't belong under RLA. You are just a plain, ordinary delivery truck jockey - not part of a critical, national resource that cannot be shutdown through local strikes and such. I'm curious as 'ell to see what the reaction of your station management will be when they start seeing their Couriers placing scans on Ground pieces - should be interesting. [/QUOTE]
