[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1056610, member: 12570"] My nickname is "The Shaker" as I inspect every package that I pickup to make sure that they are packed properly and will make it through our system; however, not all drivers do this and packages do enter our system that should never have been picked up. Packages picked up by feeder drivers are normally palletized and/or shrinkwrapped so in inspecting these is more difficult. Packages with obvious damage should never be delivered; however, packages with no obvious signs of external damage may have internal damage unknown to the driver. The driver may also make the decision, due to time constraints, to deliver the damaged package and then let the consignee "deal with it". Damaged packages should never make it on to the car but when they do it is up to the driver to decide whether they should be delivered or not. Friday morning we were on the belt wrapping up our cars. A casual driver two cars up from me sent down a package which did look a little rough to be rewrapped. He did so without bothering to see what was in it. Turns out it was a tent which had nothing wrong with it and should have been delivered. I pushed it back up to him and he said "I ain't delivering that" and sent it back down. The regular driver will be back on Monday and will have to deal with it as it was inspected and put OFD for Monday. It looked exactly the same as when he sent it down. [/QUOTE]
