Courier Information a Major Component of Assignment

I can't tell you how many times over the years I've received documents via email and there is no return airbill or account number included with which to return the signed package.

I am on the horn or emailing the scheduler immediately! If you don't have a way to return the package, the job is only half assigned. I'm filling out an airbill while I'm printing documents, inserting it or applying it directly to a FEDEX/UPS/ONTRAC envelope because I want to drop that puppy immediately! after the signing.

I keep a list of the "regular's" account numbers if they don't provide a preprinted airbill in the document package as a rule.

I think it's a key point of information in the assignment and can't be overlooked.

and to make life easier.. why not schedule a pickup at your home. if you have your own fedex/ups account, and you have a preprinted label, simply schedule on their web site, select you have a preprinted label. if you are creating the shipment on their site, first create the label showing billing to receiver account. you need their account and zip code. then schedule the pickup.

Before you suggest having a home pickup for UPS or Fed Ex you better check on how much they charge for this service. It is not free. Whatever account number that is being billed will have this charge added. Won't go over very well and you will probably lose their business.
