[QUOTE="soberups, post: 651415, member: 14668"] There is a flip side to that coin. Lets say I [I]dont[/I] sheet that pkg up as EC, instead lets say I "go for it" and try to get down that snow-covered driveway to make service on it since its "more than likely" that I can deliver it. What happens if I get stuck? What happens if I tear up the customers driveway...or slide a few inches and break my mirror on a tree branch? My dedication to making service will be rewarded...with a warning or suspension letter for an "avoidable accident", as well as a condescending lecture about "safety" methods and a regurgitation of the ten point commentary. Damned if I do, damned if I dont. And as far as calling the number on the package...UPS does not supply me with a phone, it does not even offer to compensate me for use of my airtime, and does not allow any time for making phone calls as part of the delivery process. Despite all of that I still wind up using my phone for work purposes, but it is on my terms and under no circumstances will I ever allow use of my phone to become an expectation on the company's part.
