If a driver calls a customer or not depends on many things. As with most trucking, there is no one size fits all solutions. I made many deliveries and pickups to places where the actual customer was not on the premises and I had no way to contact them. In fact, most times if I did not have experience with that place I was using my carrier's directions. I would be willing to bet at least half the time my company was contracted by a logistics company to make those runs. When possible I would attempt contact, but most of the time my carrier had to make that contact via email or a phone call. As I said, when possible contact, but for dang sure make sure your carrier is also in the loop.

Never drive in conditions you feel unsafe in. Tell your company to pound sand. A clean record means you can have a job to replace any ####ty company trying to lean on you.

forbidden to call customer?
what did we do before GPS?
I always made sure I had a WORKING phone # just in case.
most times I would call for those last few mile directions that GPS screws up.
I've never worked for a mega, so maybe that's why I could run like this.bentstrider83, firemedic2816 and Bo Hunt Thank this. -
other that that, we were to NEVER discuss anything else, regarding the delivery date or any rescheduling of the delivery or pick up.
that's the way it was.
too bad, some here don't believe that. -

To the OP!!!
You get fired for parking in case of bad weather! Tell that carrier to kiss your backside and go find a job with a carrier that respects you better than that (redacted). Honestly, everything else is simple commentary!DoubleO7, bentstrider83 and buddyd157 Thank this. -
one customer we had, was CVS. if you needed directions, you called the 800 number, and then press a number for directions. then it asked you to press in the store number, and bingo, you got a recorded message with directions.bryan21384 Thanks this. -
