Um hello, how about Duck Head brand clothing, and what about Gateway boxes? Um Hum, that's what I thought!

Do you know if the UPS Freight driver is union member?I agree 100% with over on this topic, a sales lead was turned in growing the business but it cost his center a feeder driver because freight is moving the work.

And if "Yes", is that still objectionable?

Yes he/she is union and belong to the same teamsters union we do, however ups freight makes less per hour and do not have a pension plan as we do, so by diverting this work ups saves a ton of money and we lose jobs.Do you know if the UPS Freight driver is union member?

most of us were not born yesterday. if the center has 9-10 hours of additional work, they might or might not cut in a new route. they will dispatch 9.5-11 everyday regardless of what the volume does. and if the volume drops even the slightest, areas are cut. adding new routes really has no effect on the time drivers getting in when the volume goes up.
get the district manager or ups ceo to put that in writing, and watch the growth. otherwise its just empty talk.
as far as the rest of the post, i agree. the driver should take the packages and scan them in. counting it as a pickup stop varys from area to area. in our center we were told to count that as an unscheduled pickup stop.
as far as the additional surcharges, they are only charged if you schedule a pickup, if you drop it off, or meet the driver, there are none.
as for the shoe offer, yes, if ups found out about it, you would be fired. especially if you made a special trip in there to pick up the packages, unless he asked you to get them for him in advance.
personally i always turned in every lead. but many were botched by bd. and many also have grudges against ups, and have gone to other carriers. but it seems that there are fewer choices.

I would not turn in a sales lead again after reading Av8tors story of how he convinced a shipper to use UPS, and that resulted in a UPS job loss.
Read the thread
This needs to be fully explained by UPS before anyone submits another sales lead.
The job you save (by NOT submitting a sales lead) may be your own.
1. There was NO UPS Job loss....
I was told by my center manager that if I get called and stop by to pick up a pkg, that I need to sheet that as an unscheduled pick up. Now if I deliver the pick up that needs go under special counts. I don't mind going the extra mile for the people on my route.
Brownsuit, I agree with your other points, but this one is not black and white.
We lost a UPS feeder job. We picked up a UPSF job. I guess this evens out to "No UPS job loss", but AV8 has a friend that no longer has a feeder job. And the more UPS does this, the less feeder jobs we'll have. Are you suggesting we quit and re-apply at UPSF?
To me, that's not an acceptable outcome for me to submit a sales lead.
