Can a residential but not high risk or COD package be driver released?

Can a residential but not high risk or COD package be driver released?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Depends on address
• D. Only with supervisor approval

Answer: (A)

Driver release is allowed when the shipment does not require a signature and is not COD, and the shipper has authorized leaving the package at the delivery location. For a residential shipment that isn’t high risk and isn’t COD, there’s no signature requirement to meet, so the driver can release the package at the door or another approved spot without a recipient present. This avoids unnecessary delays and aligns with shipper instructions. If a shipment did require a signature or COD, driver release wouldn’t be permitted, which is why these conditions matter.
