Customers with dogs appreciate that I give out biscuits and don't make them stop what they are doing in order to secure their dog before signing the DIAD.Customers with grease on their hands appreciate that I don't make them stop what they are doing and wipe off/wash their hands before signing the DIAD.
So its ok to make up your own rules if the customer asks?
If you feel comfortable putting your job on the line like that, more power to you.If that were true I would have been gone a long time ago.
Not mine ... it's just what exists.
That's BS!
No driver should ever go into restricted areas.
You're not special
So, you've had a complaint for forging a signature before?
If I am in a garage or other area where the consignee has grease all over his hands I will be more than happy to sign for them.

You are creating billing problems for the shipper due to the residential vs. commercial rate discrepancy, and you are exposing yourself to the liability of having to pay a claim on a package due to your negligence in not following proper methods. I know of 2 guys in my building who "never had a problem" doing that either, right up until they got clipped for over $1,000 each. They don't do it any longer.I just DR it if nobody is around to sign and I've never had any problems doing this.
Your center should have pads of these things called "delivery notices" that you can carry around in your pocket. They have a sticky strip on the back and a bar code you can scan and boxes you can check to let the customer know that you will try again tomorrow to get a signature. They work great. Try them sometime.This is what I do. Better to DR and get a letter for failure to follow whatever method they choose to use, than get fired for forging a signature.
My wifes shoe habit needs me to work.
I had a building where blind people lived and I would have to sign for them.
