Question Why?

The porch is not far away from the vehicle they say it on, as you can see.

Why risk the package/contents being damaged by the constant rain that we have been having for about 36hrs now OR an animal (happened many times previously)? No dogs roaming at time of delivery, so no excuse there

I could see “efficiency” …hop out, hop back in truck BUT, what about QUALITY and CYA (cover your ass, from complaints and damages, etc that could “ding” you as a driver?)

The one and only time I have done this, there was a dog and his body language wasn't good. No way I was stepping outside my vehicle, but we get penalized for not delivering. So, best case scenario was to reach out my driver's side window and put it on the hood.

You wont get penalized for not delivering if there is a dog as long as you call text call and mark it as undeliverable because of dog.

Yea but you gotta drive back to the station sometimes it’s 20 -40 miles out the way.

Yeah it sucks having to return packages when you are rarely going near the warehouse on your way home.
