[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 742090, member: 12570"] First of all, the pickup with the NO UPS sign is not getting the service that they deserve. The weekly charge for a daily P/U is $20 and if this were my business and I were paying $20/week for a service I would expect much more than a drive by pickup. When I first started on my current area I had one of these. I told them they could put the sign away as they would no longer need it as I would be stopping every day. The reason I don't let my pickups use signs is I got burned on one of these signs when I was a new driver. I had a pickup stop put the sign out, I drove by, they then had a package going out and took the sign down. They called a concern in when I failed to make their pickup. My excuse of "they put the sign out" fell on deaf ears, as it should have. You are right in that telematics will gig you for completing the pickup stop while you are driving by it. We were never allowed to complete a delivery with the engine running so I don't see where this is a new concern with Telematics. If you are having to break off to complete your pickups within the +/- 15 you may need to make changes to your pickup log. I know that with all of the add/cuts that we get it is very difficult to maintain 85% or higher trace and the +/- 15. Telematics will not know whether you have packages in the cab. How can you have 36 minutes of idle time? Do you sit in traffic for that long or are you not shutting the PC off at stops? Now, the reality is that you can indeed continue to do your drive by pickups. GPS is used on deliveries but not on pickups so you can "complete" your drive by the next time you stop the pkg car, provided that stop is within the +/- 15. This means that you can continue to call the pickup with the 10 mile drive and then "complete" the stop within the +/- 15. [/QUOTE]
