Why is the driver's name on this report?

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I believe your name is on the report because you delivered it the next day. The system has no idea where it was the day it wasn't scanned, but it does know who got it next!

This is incorrect. The report is generated by missing DIAD scans and is posted the following day.

He is not talking about misloads that are on his car---that is when you would use this method. He is talking about packages in his EDD but not on his car. The problem is the driver who does have the pkg is not doing the right thing and is most likely burying that pkg in his pickups, probably in a forever bag. If the driver who does have the pkg properly sheets it your name will not show up on the missing DIAD scan report.

You are right about the driver not doing the right thing. We just had a driver fired for this and the odds of him getting his job back are, IMO, slim. The driver left multiple pkgs on the truck, did not call them in or ODS them. One of them was a 2D medication that the customer needed and had to come to the ctr to get. This happened on a fri a couple of weeks ago. Not a happy customer.

In my center we were instructed if we can't find a package to send a message can't find and then the address.

We haven't been instructed to do this but I did a few days ago. I had a missing pkg for a local gunsmith. That one I called in.

Its nice of you to think up such a sinister thought and then throwing a fellow driver on under the bus by implying one of them does it.

Sword, it's not a sinister [-]plot[/-] thought. That crap happens all the time. It used to be worse pre-EDD. A favorite trick of certain drivers would be to dump a misload at the UPS store. I've picked up pkgs there that have been there over night. It still happens, especially for the rtes that are near the UPS store. It's BS is what it is. The driver doesn't want to get stuck delivering it and it's difficult to prove where the misload was.


It's pure and simple laziness...................................
