Abney wants mailbox access.

At my building they are starting to DQ drivers that HR told were going to be permanent FT. We all knew they were just sesonal.

Uh oh. Multiple "BUT HR SAID" threads incoming.

 

[PT Car Washer]

We all knew that. You can’t qualify during peak.we have told you this over and over and over and over again

In my Local you can qualify during Peak if you were hired as permanent FT or PT but this was just a scam to fill seasonal spots with good people who would bust their butts for hope of being kept on after the Holidays.

UPS: We can give consumers 'much better service' with mailbox access

UPS could improve its delivery services if the United States Postal Service began selling rights to access mailboxes as recommended by the Trump administration, Chairman and CEO David Abney told CNBC on Wednesday.

"We look at that as a very positive step, and we think it helps the consumer, because no one wants to get a delivery notice at their door saying they didn't get a package," he said on "Squawk Alley." "If [we] get mailbox access, [we] can just provide much better service."

Earlier this month, the Treasury Departmentproposed that the federal postal service license mailbox access to private entities. The proposal was part of a task force, formed after an executive order by President Donald Trump, that looked into the operations and finances of the cash-strapped agency.

Congress enacted a mailbox restriction for USPS in the 1930s, a mailbox monopoly the task force said is "highly valuable" and could create an additional revenue stream.

"We have a great relationship with our customers," Abney said. "We go to most everyone's houses, but getting access to the mailbox would be an even closer connection."

Not sure how delivery to a mailbox gives UPS a closer connection to the customer than their porch.

I do this now

Call 811-867-5309 and ask for UPS Jenny when the operator asks where you’ll be digging.

Who leaves a note at the door saying you didn’t get a package? But that package could’ve been left in a mailbox? What?

What is stopping ups from putting up boxes?

It should be the responsibility of the property owner who is isn't accessible for a UPS driver to arrange a way for packages to be delivered or hold everything to the center for pickup.

Who orders a package UPS or FedEx knowing a truck can't get to the house?

Secure parcel boxes are pretty expensive and labor intensive to install. The math doesn't work when all UPS is looking for is another reason to increase stop counts.

I don't think property accessibility is what the mailbox access idea is about.

There's always a bunch on rural routes. Usually you ditch at the gate, driveway, neighbor, etc...

I continue to lobby for “gate” as a driver release option in the diad.

Gates are made to keep something in or something out. I never messed with gates but leaving a package by a gate at the end of a road was a no no. Leave it at a neighbor or NI 1 with a delivery notice telling them to call UPS for further instructions on where to leave it.

I LOVE when people let their flea bag out.

Less walking I have to do on any future deliveries.

Was bit by a dog reaching over a gate/fence this past summer. center manager was pissed and said I should EC any future deliveries when a dog is present. I run a rural route and most everyone has a dog. Maybe one day this week I will EC the whole damn truck.

I do that already. It would be nice to have “gate” as an option.
