Savers

[TheMachine]

You will never hear anything about breaking trace to make service on commit times. Too much $$ involved.

I had a saver that was for a business on this country route i was covering on friday but the problem was that it was next to my last stop. It was no way i was going to get there by 1500 hrs so i messaged the center. They told me we cant have no lates. So i had to break trace at 225pm past by 50 stops to make this commit and then run the route in reverse. I was over by 40 miles that day. All i know is I better hear nothing come monday.

This is impossible with Orion must be your fault

If they day one word about it....bury them in grievances

I wish dispatchers were held just as accountable as the pre-loaders! Wait, what....oh yeah, those guys. It's ok to friend-UP!

I Res/Comm this saver once while covering a route, knowing it’s a residential address, turns out it was a business being run out of some dude’s basement. Got in trouble for delivering it after 3. FML.

That’s not a business. That’s a residence. If it’s a house where people live, it doesn’t matter if they’re running a business out of it. It’s a house.

Forget the exact definition .... but in some circumstances ... it could be considered a buisness

No one would get in trouble for sheeting that a residence. I had this exact discussion with my on car and when I was in package I had a huge bullseye on my back. They would have loved to fire me. Told me flat out, if it looks like a house, smells like a house, it’s a house.

Just saying there is some long definition ....of the proper method ...

The only exception obv being when a lawyer or an accountant turns one of those old houses into an office. That’s a business. But you can clearly tell when you walk in no one puts their head down at night there.

Was it a resi? No commit on resi's.

Words have meaning

I had a saver that was for a business

Try reading people's posts, not just skim over them.....maroon

This is where Orion really screws up.


I would have broken to do the stop then driven all of the way back to where Orion had me and been 60 miles over lol.

I believe it has to have hours posted and a public entrance to be considered a business to UPS.

 

[JustDeliverIt]

Here's what I don't get. If Orion and the entire dispatch system is so great, why doesn't it recognize resi/com on it's own and remove/keep commit times accordingly. It knows every business that I have to get a signature or CIR but savers are the one thing in the system that doesn't get regulated properly? WTF

Entrance that is open to the public and has posted business hours.

Seems legit to me. Why would you hear anything. I never do. If you do, you say “I had to beak for a saver.”

I agree. I am almost certain it was a woman running her MLM “business” out of her house. This person is known to call the center and complain that her packages weren’t showing up during “business hours”. I told her she could always have her stuff shipped ‘Next Day Air’ if she wanted her packages first thing in the morning. She looked at me like I’m crazy.
