Doesnt matter. You could get hit with a hurricane that destroyed your route and blocked half the streets with debris, and they will question you about your "overallowed".

The majority of shippers print out an EOD report which we scan. This is uploaded through PLD.
As others have said don't worry about the numbers. The only way you can meet those standards is by skipping breaks and working through lunch. I knew a guy who took an hour lunch so he could sort for an hour without it showing up on the time clock. Dumb as hell and he set an unfair standard which they then tried to hold new drivers too. Take your breaks and lunch. Do not work off the clock.

This is not true.
Go ahead and run to make your numbers or whatever you do. I don't worry about it. Maybe if the route has a fair time study but those seem to be non-existent where and am.

I work at a brisk pace and always take my full lunch and break. Granted, I may not take them as directed in the contract, but I do take them.

Yea I like how some shippers pick and choose when to do this. If you have only a few it's one thing. But when your shipping out a bunch. Just print the EOD. Geez

If the EOD is not ready I scan and sign it the next day.

If the shipper is finished for the day I will run and print EOD myself.

It may not be true on YOUR ROUTE, but on a lot of routes it is most definitely true.
The training routes in our center are the only close to fair ones. If you are efficient and pull right up to every stop perfectly then yeah you will meet the numbers.

You should NEVER worry about numbers but even if you did a bulk route is never fair in that regard. Just ask most mall route drivers.
I quit doing that years ago. A business owner asked why I didn't do that anymore and I told him it was his shipping/receiving guy's responsibility to do it.
He then said " you must be Union"
I then told him, "you don't pay me to do your employees' job"

I don't mind running the EOD every once in a while but would also refuse to do it on a daily basis.

Fight the power.
Yea.......because clicking one button on a computer screen is so difficult. Come on. But on topic, I haven't looked at a report in over 2 years. Someone brought one to my attention the other day asking about a time card question. I glanced at my name. 2 hours over. Lmfao. It's all a joke!

If their computer is sitting right there with Worldship already on it, I don't see the problem in clicking on the "end of day" icon if the shipper hasn't done it yet.
Printing out a customers end of day isn't your job, so why do it? Are they going to do your COD turn in at the end of the day?
Two funny examples:
1- Doing a Macy's pickup at a mall where they would send out hundreds of packages daily, and you had to go down 3 floors to reach the PC to load. If there was no EOD, I took each piece and scanned and loaded it (slowly). On the 3rd day there were 3 EOD's on the counter with a note for me to sign them. I refused. Next day they had someone there to "encourage"me to sign them. She said I HAD to sign the prior days paperwork. I told her I wouldn't. She goes on to tell me they NEED them signed in case they get audited (internally). I told her if it was ready when I pick up, I'll sign it. Otherwise, tough luck.
2- Another department store had a dock pickup and an optical dept pickup. I'd do the dock pickup, and when I went into the optical they had a box, standing up flaps open. I asked if they have anything ready and the girl says yes. I asked where, and she pointed to said box. I told her she needed to seal it. "Well, the other guy closes it for us", "Good to know, I'm not the other guy".
She stopped arguing and their packages would be late being sent out because she expected me to do her job. I don't ask you to run stops for me while I bs with co workers, so shut your mouth for 30 seconds, seal the box and avoid an argument (which I always won)
