Determine whether the following packages can be driver released: Commercial

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only with supervisor
• D. Sometimes with verification

Answer: (B)

Driver release means the carrier can leave a package at the delivery location without obtaining a signature. This option is used only when the shipper has allowed non-signature delivery for that type of shipment and the delivery conditions make it low risk. For Commercial shipments, the policy is that a signature or an authorized recipient must be present to receive the package. Releasing a Commercial package without verification would undermine accountability and increase the risk of misdelivery or theft at a business address. Because of these requirements, Commercial packages are not eligible for driver release. If a delivery needs to be non-signature or outside normal procedures, alternatives include arranging a hold at a UPS Location, having a signature required for delivery, or using a different shipper instruction that fits the shipper’s authorization.
