Sorry. I will try to look up to Upstate in awe from now on and put his vast knowledge to use on the job. Before I make a delivery, I will log on and see what Upstate would do. Lord knows he will probably be on here posting something. Just an internet forum-try not to to take things so seriously.

Isn't that what you're doing? Why bother, isn't it more energy spent doing what you're doing, instead of just saying, whatever?

No no, it's fine with me that you don't, it's just that I could not tell by your post.
I think UPS could do something similar to what the PO does. They have regular ground service or priority ground mail. NOT air service.
UPS could offer this to the customer that isn't in any hurry to get their package. It would a cheaper way to get a delivery.Somebody like me that lives in Vermont getting a package from Boston is normally 2 days ground. But with a new remote it would 3-4 days.They could basically add a day or two to the service.
I am a high mileage driver. 200 miles a day. I usually do 85-95 stops a day Tues -Fri. On Mondays they cut routes. I pick up a section of a cut route on my way out. This adds typically 15-18 stops to my day.

They tried this about 10-11 years ago in Chema, Ma too and it didn't last long.

You guys are forgetting. All the PDS has to do is check the non-premium box in PAS assign it to CLO/FUT/REMOTE trailer/package car in that days plan and bingo you will not see the package that day. How do you think one route gets the premium packages now but not the ground deliveries. Remote deliveries would be a lot easier to do now compared to the 1990's no driver help needed.

Last time they did this Farmers, ranchers, , logging companies and other bussiness ilke these were not considered a business in UPS's eyes. Try telling this to someone after a part that was needed a day or two ago sat in the center. Because they don't have posted hours or a cash register. Many of these employ their familys and others who work for them. They depend on us to keep their buisness running. UPS also needs to consider the shipper who is told not to send it UPS because they will just hold it enough times before they find another carrier to provide the service that they need. It was a very bad plan last time and I would hope that they would learn from the past.
