No DR Allowed

[FrigidFTSup]

I have come to realize that.

Doesn't being so arrogant bother you?

Doesn't being so arrogant bother you?

This job, as you found out during your 30 days on road, requires a certain amount of confidence. There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. At times that line is blurred.

There is also a fine line between arrogance and humor.

 

[AKCoverMan]

We move boxes for a living. We better have a sense of humor.

We started our 1st one about a month ago and added a 2nd 2 weeks ago. 1 is a UPS store, the other is a pizza joint that is almost on the local college campus.

In what self-help book did you read that, Dave?

True confidence is closer to humility than arrogance. "Humility" is the ability to remain teachable, and to be open-minded to the idea that one might be wrong about something. True confidence is the point where one can set one's ego aside and admit that they still might not have all the answers.

I happen to be driving by a few days ago and saw a sign in a mini mart window, and this wasnt circle k or 7-11 but "run down, Im afraid to go inside mini mart"...lol I almost didnt see the ups sign between the 30 different advertisements in the windows for cigarettes, chew, and mexician phone cards...I was actually a little surprise with that. I wouldnt have gone in there for a package thats for sure.

I guess you are the chuck norris of package delivery...Dave doesnt pick up the package, the packages come crawling to him.

Its confidence man...hes a true power player in this industry, a force to be reckoned with...doesnt take no for an answer, puts his daisy dukes on with both feet at the same time..

I'll tell you what would make Access Points a heck of a lot better for the customer. Letting us deliver packages to the access points on Saturday. Give people an opportunity to pick up packages when they aren't working.

AP is eliminating jobs!

We haven't had any issues with the union. They're just trying to keep the cost per piece down. I think the air drivers wouldn't mind a little pay bump for 3 bulk stops, 1 of which they were already going to.[/QUOTE

This is a change of operations...

I was told to DR a shipper release package at a residential stop by using sdn and typing shipper release.

Who told you that?

Was anything I said incorrect? Or do you believe drivers should falsify records instead of having send agains? If there is a problem with that address wait for UPS to correct it. Or do you believe otherwise?

You were the first one to provide the solution to the problem this new software upgrade is creating. Tricking the system, falsely entering signed delivery notice and/or classifying stops incorrectly (as others have suggested) can be construed as falsification and should be avoided at all costs. If the system now requires a signature for a resi or a border line/debatable commercial that has always been DRed in the past...so be it. More send-agains are the result until they fix the software.

Why do you even respond to Dave and his comments about retirees? He had no problem posting about ORION before he had any experience with it. Your advice is spot on and is informed by years of experience along with common sense.

If the DM ran with your proposal the air drivers would soon be making regular driver pay for all work completed (abiding by contract language), increasing cost per piece. More and more you are posting suggestions that violate not only the contract but also company policies (remember you were publicly warned on this forum by a manager?)

If it's shipper release and the DIAD says no DR then hit the release tab at the bottom of the screen. That will allow you to complete the stop.

On car supervisor

 

[wayfair]

How many paid send agains do you guys have? If I have more than 2 it is a bad day.

I have 19 apt properties on my route, only 2 offices will accept out of those

2 is a funny number
