[QUOTE="Sweeper, post: 3643451, member: 66635"] If I wasn’t sure if a gate was a good and Safe Dr I wouldn’t leave it. Generally if I didn’t know that the customer wanted pkgs left at the gate it wasn’t getting left. NI1 and an info notice. If I was even remotely unsure NI1. Nothing beat coming back from vacation to a stack of DFU’s. I used to be able to easily run out of hours when the weather would get bad. Turn off Orion. I really enjoyed it when it snowed. Conversations in the AM with management went something like this. Me: What time do I have to be back? Sup: We’re not sure. Me: All of my deliveries can be made with enough time devoted. Sup: We can’t have you out all night. Me: If you don’t tell me what time I have to be back then I’ll take as much time as necessary to safely deliver every stop on car. I don’t know how much is too much time to devote to a delivery if you can’t tell me what time your going to call us in off the road. Then the sup would walk away. Then I’d leave the building with 150ish stops. 5:00 would roll around and I’d have 100 left. I’d bring back my last 80 stops and sheet them all emergency condition or missed. Some of those 80stops were quick and easy stops but since they refused to give me a time to be back to the building then I’d deliver in trace until they called me in. Next day same conversation Me: What time do I have to be back? Sup: We’re not sure. Me: All of my deliveries can be made with enough time devoted. Sup: We can’t have you out all night. Me: If you don’t tell me what time I have to be back then I’ll take as much time as necessary to safely deliver every stop on car. Sup: use your discretion. Me: ummmmmmmmmm I now have 30 more stops then yesterday. Rinse and repeat each day This would go on for a couple days until they sent in extra help or they’d actually start giving me a time to return to the building before I left in the morning. I enjoyed rural routes particularly when the weather got bad. It’s amazing how full they can make the 6 ,7 and 8000 shelf. I always told my preloader the extra weight on the back of the car helped. Remember when the weather turns bad: Can’t put the whole car at risk for one stop. Walk off long driveways. Time is money! [/QUOTE]
