Dock

[HEFFERNAN]

Try doing that at Walmart or Target and see just how quickly you will be told to go back there and complete the delivery.

Unfortunately, The NEW UPS cares more about miles than service.
Geeks in IE and soft-handed executives have never delivered a package, let alone a busy dock delivery.
Being forced to drive back instead of waiting has put targets on drivers whose miles have not conformed to Orion's.
In the good old days, we would just come back, no issue. Now we're forced to make decisions that will affect reports.

Putting it on a pallet outside is what I did when the docks were full at Walmart on my old route...You must not have a good working relationship with the receiver at your Walmart.

Which?

Whose Theresa?

Based on the context I would assume that she is the receiver at Walmart.

" request acknowledged and accepted" and then "forget" to go back. Heh.

I have a great relationship with Wally World and would like to keep it that way.

They had 50 pkgs on Friday. Easier to go back than to sheet 50 pkgs NR1.

Sit around waiting for a dock to open ".....and just see how quickly you......."are called into the office the next day wanting to know why you took so long.

So which is it?

I'm seeing conflicting instructions.

.....and, yes, I was a PC driver at one time.

Ask management what they prefer you to do in a full dock situation. Explain all the circumstances- go in depth--really drag it out. Time spent in the office is on the clock too. Thirty-five bucks an hour (or what ever it is now) to stand around and babble about something you have no control over seems like easy money to me. It seems like I heard the"what took you so long" speech or some variation of it just about every day for 30 years.

Some people get it.... but if i have to wait longer than 1 minute. I go grab a pallet , stack it nicely.... and tell them, everything is on a pallet out on the street or yard... sorry i dont wait...

I did that once at a Walmart when I was a cover guy. The manager came outside and apologized and said he was going to have to try to find someone certified to run their fork lift. (I had been to that walmart 3 times that day and they had 3 walmart trailers there with no tractors all_day_long. It was really weird.

Deliver adjacent stops?

I know for a fact that if I tried to stack Walmart's delivery on a pallet in the parking lot Theresa would call my boss and my butt would be back there so quick my head would spin.

I have a great relationship with Wally World and would like to keep it that way.

Sounds to me as though Theresa scares you.







Or your center manager.

I meant the guy who said leave them in a pallet, and you get a message to "go back".
