What actually happens to damaged shipments? Is something illegitimate going on?

[I have NOT been lurking]

A little tape and it's good to go. Management doesn't want the damage key being used, they only want refused, so you dump it.

The real question is, why is the preload moving damaged goods along?

Work as directed

Correction.. They don’t want the missed button being used.

It’s funny that they never want us to use the methods that they train us on when it looks bad for them.

Both missed and damaged are to never be used as directed. Always wondered why the damaged key is even in there since that's a long standing never use option. They say falsifying records is a primary way of getting fired but it's what we're explicitly told to do.

I always wonder what happens to packages with broken bottles of wine. I could have sworn I delivered the same package that was clearly damaged the day before. Where did that bottle of wine go??

It goes in the "trash" in the center managers office.

I lose track of the amount of time I spend retaping boxes all day that are loaded busted up and opened. I guess pre-load can't be bothered only for the driver making 2-3 times as much to tape on the side of the road in traffic.

Yep. I wonder how much I saved the company by always having tape in my truck. in ingrates

Since you can't sheet them as damaged if they load a busted open box on your truck (which they aren't supposed to do) you shouldn't attempt delivery and sheet it as missed. That would piss them off only because it would show up on a report.

If I saw it in the am, I threw it off. If not I sheeted it as damaged and gave it to the clerk at night.

Driver release garage. Preload special. They load it, I'm dumping it.

You wouldn’t take that out.

Are you allowed to sheet as damaged now? For a while we were supposed to sheet as missed and give to the clerk in the PM. If you sheet it as damaged it messes up the billing or something.

Not if I saw it before I left the building. If found on route normally I would just bring it back and let the clerk deal with it.

Preload sups freak out when you leave them. They have to answer to their bosses for why stuff got left on the dock.

Eff em. I drove away. No supe would dare make me take that sht. I would leave it in the CMs office at night

Most damages happen because the stuff is too big or too heavy, or because it was packed like crap.

"The method, according to the diad training, is to sheet missed with "pos dam" in the remarks."
When managment tries to get me to sheet it any other way, i say this to them through the board. They disappear.

I do not have the proper training (or authority) to determine if an item is damaged, according to UPS shipping Guildlines. Thats for the clerk.

So you take that out,DR it so you can go back two days later and pick it back up? That's smart. SMH.
