They have changed those DR options----instead of MCM/MCW/MCB/MCG, it is just MC.
Bonus Centers

Usually only an issue in bonus centers. DR is supposed to be at the driver's discretion and in high claim areas it is often better to get a signature if possible. If you aren't in a bonus center your overallow doesn't matter so it is more a matter of reducing claims.

Partially correct-----while DR is at the driver's discretion, this particular driver is not even thinking about DRing anything. Over allowed, especially an hour or more, has become a huge concern to the point where they now do production rides. Areas with high claims will not allow you to DR anything other than Surepost.

For awhile now.....right?
Are your comments based on when you worked here? You sure seem plugged in.....

I delivered in non DR areas and next to them would be areas that allowed DR but were sketchy and high claims. A couple of those went back and forth between allowing DR.

We had both non DR areas and specific addresses that were non DR.

I don’t understand the hate for people who work quickly and intelligently. My center had plenty of lazy, out of shape and quite frankly stupid people working there.
It sucked on the preload when they couldn’t keep up and it made my job harder. It also sucked to deliver in a loop with sloths or stupid rookies who couldn’t do their work.
I would much rather work with people who wanted to perform well. Not cut corners, but actually tried.
I am retired now and work on a farm and golf several times a week. Why would I want all of my coworkers to be slow as hell and all of the guys on my scramble team to suck?
There was a group of 5 drivers in a loop at my old center that were literally trying to race each other to be the slowest in the loop, because they were tired of getting each other’s work.

But the bonus drivers don’t need help all of the time like the ones that are trying to be as slow as possible. I’ll take bonus drivers in my loop over handicapped drivers every time!

We knew all of that before he retired?
My point is being away from UPS for any significant period of time does not afford anyone the frame of reference to give anybody DIAD advice.

Unless said person was recently asked to come back to train new drivers for Peak for roughly $5/hr more than your current top rate:We knew all of that before he retired?

Truth be told, I had no intention of ever coming back-----the money was too hard to pass up, if only for a 3 month gig.

Wow, an actual response that makes sense. I wasn't told anything about NOT getting them. I think our center is VERY lax compared to what it appears is not the case for many of you. But I do appreciate an appropriate response other than "Looks like someones gonna be fired soon." Thats a very extreme conclusion to jump to based on what I explained. Our center is a bonus center, and very few people DONT make bonus, in fact, it is a race to make as much as you can for most drivers. I get the sense that good bonus numbers make our center manager look good, so hence why it doesn't seem at all like they are exactly trying to figure out why every driver is always under.
