[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 663683, member: 12570"] This one may sound like BS but it is 100% true. I was on a country run and had a number of packages from the same shipper. They were senior pictures and it was the first year that they were being delivered to the students' homes rather than to the school. The problem arose when they let the kids address their own orders. This was pre-911 and we were still on paper so I had a mixture of RD, RR, PO Box and street names without house numbers. After struggling with the first four or five I got to one stop and asked the kid if he could help me with directions. He surprised me by offering to take all of the packages and bringing them to school the next day so I indirected 37 stops at 1 stop. When I got back to the bldg my on car and center manager argued whether it was considered 1 stop or 37 and it was decided that it was 37 stops left at 1 stop. I can't begin to guess how much time that kid saved me and this was the first and last year pictures were sent home. [/QUOTE]
