That person deserves to be fired. That's just plain stupid.The ultimate defense. (if you are making up a name to sign but what if you signed your own name for about 25 stops like we had a guy do?)
Are you asking me? If so sure I've made a few mistakes, but signing for packages and using your own name is not a mistake,it's just plain STUPID!So you've never made a mistake?
Is it? Yes, doing it 25 times is stupid - but how 'bout once? You didn't forge anything, how 'bout if the customer asked you to sign if he wasn't home?Are you asking me? If so sure I've made a few mistakes, but signing for packages and using your own name is not a mistake,it's just plain STUPID!

Never. To me that's like hitting something, causing damage and not reporting hoping someone didn't see it. I'm sorry to me it's just not worth it. Only people I trust is my family period. I'll give an example of trust and good customers and something that happened many years ago. I delivered to this business for a few years and seen the same receiving guy everyday we became friends as most of us do. Well one day the customer rep comes to me about a damage at said address(this was back when they did inspections on area)and tells me so&so(my friend) says I throw all his packages off the truck and onto the ground causing damage. Well this was not the truth and the rep believed me as it was true. But it made a very deep impression on me as to who too trust and who not too trust while wearing brown. If can cost me my job why risk it.Is it? Yes, doing it 25 times is stupid - but how 'bout once? You didn't forge anything, how 'bout if the customer asked you to sign if he wasn't home?

If you read, someone else posted about another driver signing for packages using his own name not your husband.If you read my original post... I also said what he did was stupid!!! Also I never said he used his own name. He printed the customers name.
In all reality that would be the way to do it. But again you are trusting someone you really don't know do you? You CYA and most likely had a problem aroused you would be ok. The sad thing is most of the time you can't read the signature anyways that's why I said if you do it don't admit to it if someone says something.I signed for a customer. She was elbow deep in something (cannot remember) and I said, "I can sign for you, but it is possible someone from UPS may call and confirm, so remember what we talked about, OK." I then signed my name and added, "as requested by customer."
At the end of the day, I told my on-car about it, making sure I had covered my butt on multiple levels.
