[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 685303, member: 1944"] I agree totally with Jones, if the weather is atrocious as it is / and continues to be, drivers should not be dispatched with the normal loads. If UPS really cared about service, it would dispatch allowing for the severe weather, instead of using ECD as a dispatch tool. But whether its 80 and sunny or 0 with 2 ft of snow, as smart as UPS is in every other technical area, they cant figure out the time allowed/needed to safely do the job is way different. Someday maybe they will, probably the same time they figure out Christmas is always, always on December 25th. As for the physical condition of walkways/steps/access areas, I take into account 1. Is there a large % of chance I could get hurt, such as no handrail on icy steps, High snow on steps 2. What I feel is in the package, and is it imperative they get it today. 3. Is the resident in need of this, and has no control over the conditions outside. Ill take a chance on busting my butt if its medicine, med equipment for someone I know is handicap, or bedridden. I wont take that chance for someone I know is capable and is waiting for the sun to melt it. [/QUOTE]
