[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 951503, member: 17969"] One of the biggest problems with drivers and their understanding of telematics and related technologies, is the lack of understanding how the current language applies. I agree with BROWN804 that the word DEFRAUD was probably the biggest mistake to have been agreed upon because its too general of a word. When I originally wrote on this subject back when the contract was up for ratification, I also condemned the use of the word and said that it would be like opening a barndoor and letting the animals out. The word "defraud" is too general and can be applied in many aspects. With respect to improperly sheeting packages, its an easy association to include the word "DEFRAUD" when a driver knowingly sheets a package with a code he/she knows is wrong in an attempt to either conceal, hide or service fail the package. All drivers should learn from the mistakes of others and not duplicate their actions. You may think you got away with something like this even if a few days has passed, however, if the company reviews your telematics and they see B.A.'s sheeted on a street that is NO PLACE near the intended address, then you have opened a can of worms that will be hard to close. All packages should be recorded properly at all times. If it doesnt belong to you, then you have an opportunity to sheet it as a misload and clear yourself of liability. You should recieve instructions on how to record the pkg from your center, and if you dont by 7PM, then record the package as missed. NEVER make a decision to assign a B.A. code to an off area. With respect to salts, notify the center on each and every pkg in your car that does not belong there. Even if it doesnt belong to you, if you smoke it and bring it back unsheeted and toss it on a belt or slide, you will be discharged. Salts are there for a reason, and that reason is to change the mindsets of drivers who for years, have simply returned to the building with unserviced packages. Those days are over. If you roll the dice on a salt or any pkg, then you will pay the price for that action. peace TOS [/QUOTE]
