EC is when you simply can't get down a road without getting stuck.

EC is not when you can get to the delivery point but don't feel like walking through a little bit of snow.

First attempt at welding. So far not to bad. I hope it holds the car up :/

EC is what my boss tells me it is. Work as instructed.

EC has become more of a dispatch tool than an exception code.

EC is 2" snow of more than 10 feet walk path.

I agree but I work as instructed. It's their house their ball and their yard. I'm just trying to play/last the while game.



Ps I'm sorry for anything I ever said or did to you. I was wrong no matter what you have ever done and I'm sorry. I should have had more common sense that that and I was wrong.

We have been told it's fine to sheet EC if the customer doesn't have a clear walk path for you. It's a safety issue but if I can drive within a few hundred yards I'm delivering it. If it's nothing more than bagging it and leaving it hanging from a tree at the end of the lane that's what I'll do.

EC is also when police or fire has road closed

It's February 22, two weeks until daylight savings.

EC's do not magically disappear when you back in to your parking spot at night-----you will have to deal with them the following day so why not do all that you can to get rid of them the first day?

You're right---I was thinking within the context of this conversation but there are many situations which could be classified as emergency conditions.

 

[joeboodog]

I agree but our mgt. team has taken that to the extreme. Its starting to seem that EC is the new Rural Remote. It will soon just become a numbers game rather than a useful tool.

Went round and round with my center team on this this winter. They were calling us in at 7:30 after the roads were clear just to make sure we didn't run out if hours before Friday.

It's all just going to roll over. Leave me out there for 14 and get it cleaned up. Hell as far as I'm concerned 9.5 be damned everyone works at least 12 in these type of situations.

My brother called me the other day. His wife is a diabetic and they were waiting for her medication. He doesn't have a computer and doesn't go online so was unable to track it or give me the 1Z to track. Turns out we EC'd it 2 days in a row. He lives in a house not easily accessible from the main road but I still think they could/should have been delivered on the 1st day.

We have had multiple storms. Thawing and freezing between. We were told not to walk down driveways or sidewalks that were covered in snow do to the ice under them. Your walk ain't shoveled, no package for you.

2 good friends of mine, tape and dr bags agrees with you. More packages off today means less tomorrow lol.

Not the EC's that last 3-4 months. The clerk looks for an alternate address or calls consignee for one, or has it will called.

Had multiple call ins. I can't find my package. It's in a bag at the end of your 1/2 mile drive.
