[QUOTE="tups, post: 308520, member: 1969"] Sounds fishy to me, because I deliver boxes and boxes to a hospital on my route, usually NDA, that are marked RUSH HUMAN TISSUE/ORGANS FOR TRANSPLANT. And one time I had to rush deliver one to the hospital because it contained an organ that was needed for some guy who was in the OR at 7 in the morning. Sounds to me like the sales people just dropped the ball on it, and were lazy. After all, we do take hazmats. Maybe this is why we as drivers are brow beaten into trying to get sales leads. And here in the northeast we have been getting what they are calling reverse leads. They hand us a paper with a name of a company and an address and ask us to go do a sales call!! I mean what the hell! Isn't that why there are sales people to begin with? And these so called reverse leads and almost all no good! I had 4 last week. 2 were current customers who I have a daily pickup from already, one was moved and the other was a house where someone who either worked at or owned the company lived. They tried it again this week and we asked how much time we get for sales calls, and were told that we get nothing. I watched two guys in my group just hand the papers back to the sup and walk away.
