Although I do try and compensate for my lack of good looks with my charm and wit, with a little bit of abject stupidity.

When UPS aquired Coyote Logistics a few weeks ago, my center and I imagine most others, started coming back down on p/u compliance. The +/- 15 min window which stinks since ORION doesn't work with the 30 min window. So as usual, 2 conflicting operational procedures we are somehow supposed to work out as drivers. Physically being at p/u's in that window can explode miles on many routes. I often see Orion plan pickups 4 or 5 hours out of the window for remote p/u's. I'm getting tired of being placed into these impossible situations. We are set up to get in trouble. You do the "right" thing and you'll be 20 miles over and 2 hours over.
When I've been on road with a sup, we would be at a p/u early and the sup tells me don't stop complete now, complete it later in the window. Gotta love it.

The acquisition of Coyote has nothing to do with small package operations.
It's ok until someone at your pickup has something going out that didn't get relayed to you via the phone call. Then they call in a missed pickup the next morning when the opening manager sees it and you get hit with falsifying documents because you opened up and stop completed a pickup with the address in the board miles away from where you actually were.
It only rolls down hill when someone pushes the snowball over the cliff. You will be at the bottom of the hill.
Also, mgmt likely knows this and if you ever need to file or just start ruffling their feathers, they have something against you.
Do you have a family?
Always CYA.

I don't recommend calling customers. I don't do that. Paid by the hour. But if you do that. And they don't have anything, leave the pickup hanging in the board. Don't close it out. Falsification. You can get gigged for doing that.
The only time I ever called my pickup customers, is if we had really bad snow.
In my center (don't know how Orion and EDD will affect this because we don't have that) I would drive to the stops to get the miles so my planned day looks longer on paper. Unless you are on a route with a bad time study then call them

Yeah, it's one thing to know it, but another to show it.

But wouldn't these pickup customers already know that?
I meant if the weather was really bad I would call and ask if they had something going out.
I've been in my route for a long time. Most would say don't risk an accident, get it tomorrow.

What about pickup accounts that don't exist anymore but are still in your board. Do you stop complete them?

Don't do that.

Will it show up as a failed pick up on some report even though it doesn't exist?

If you don't close it out? Yes.
