Call the IBT package division in Wash DC. See what response you get.
So how did these surepost "enhancements" come into play....were drivers complaining about the amount of union work going to the po or did h and h catch wind of this and decided to " step up"... Lol if that's what you call it.. More like bending over.
We haven't seen any single stop surepost pkgs in my area out west so I'm not sure what is going on...
You will get those if your center advances volume, and that address was scheduled to receive a non sure post pkg on the same day. That's how it works here. As a steward I ask my dispatcher about once a month how the sure post volume is being routed. Kind of reminds them I know how it's supposed to go and then I observe a lot.
It was addressed to the post office, but shouldn't have. The address on the pkg. had a po box number.
Yes, we should have looked it up in house and had driver deliver to customer. The sure post people in our area know anything over 10lbs goes to a clerk....then to the truck.
My smaller one takes everything addressed to it. Even had one once that said "Joe Blow, general delivery". Thought it was the 1950s.
Those are typically held because a partner package is scheduled for arrival the next day and both will be delivered directly to the consignee. That pile being held is a good thing and part of the agreement to keep more volume on the package cars.
Next time your near those packages look for a pal type label that says del date on it. It should have tomorrow's date on them. These will be on package car routes for the drivers to deliver. I think this is the software that the company uses to identify these stops....in the sure post language.
Keep after it! Spread the word. I think there is a national grievance about the close proximity language in the works.
I think if you drive past the house we should at least get those.
