No DR's allowed--new thread--on topic please

If it isnt an actual Shipper Release package, then using RelNum could be construed as dishonest.

So why does the DIAD let you release it then? That is technological failure not dishonesty.

I always tell them after the fact.

Better to ask forgiveness than permission?

I've been out of package for a bit now, but when I had a no DR(that was something like a letter) I would just put in the house # hit enter to the street name then hit overide and the no DR would disappear. Can you not do that anymore?

 

[Jones]

I've been out of package for a bit now too, but when I had a no DR package I wouldn't DR it.

 

[DOK]

Just use release number, then you can dr it.

Yea I get that, but when you know it's something that has no value and most likely thrown away by the consignee who cares.

Wow....after reading this thread I can see why there are so many damn driver follow ups in my center. I don't mind fixing my own mistakes....ones I make during my rare lapses in judgement.....but I can't stand cleaning up after all of you guys that willfully skirt issues for your own convenience.

I've had several "No DR" followed by that stupid questionnaire. I say stupid because you go back to that same residential stop a few day OR weeks later, it will pop up as "No DR" even though you have repeatedly responded "residential." It's residential!!!! Fix it!!!!!

Give a list to your sup. We can go in and change it. I've done a handful of them lately.

Is holiday trouble looming for UPS deliveries

• 
  On-time delivery rates for the company plunged last week, with about 91 percent of UPS ground packages delivered on time, according to software developer ShipMatrix. At the same time a year earlier, UPS' on-time deliveries were tracking at about 97 percent, ShipMatrix told CBS MoneyWatch. FedEx's deliveries have also seen some delays, with last week's packages having a 95 percent on-time rate
  

Looks like corporate has failed again, as usual

Just like access point it's was stupid to release this close to peak. Not to mention 90% of what I have had has been residential stuff that I have no idea how it could be thought of otherwise.

If you think that is fun, you should try delivering to a college mail room after these changes were made. It is a royal PITA.

You're right.

Last Saturday when I was a runner for a driver he taught it to me. Thought it was handy so I figured I'd pass it along.

Yep.
Plus it negates any dishonesty charge they might try to pin on me. Its not dishonest if I make no attempt to conceal it and in fact bring their attention to it.

My sup is out on car until 10:30 every night, he doesnt have time for stuff like that.

I am not willfully skirting an issue for my own convenience. I am making service on packages despite Corporate's incompetence and best efforts to make the job harder for no reason. Any followups that are generated will be mine to deal with and no one elses. I average less than 5 followups annually so its a non-issue.

 

[soberups]

To be clear here...what I am talking about is residential addresses in a rural area. I dont DR business stops. There is no rational basis for allowing a given package to be released on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays while prohibiting its release on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am providing the requested info and fully cooperating with the program except for one minor detail; instead of bringing the package back the following day when Driver Release will be allowed, I release it on the same day I fill out the questionnare so as to avoid an unnecessary send-again when I am at risk of going over 60 hours.
