Which statement best describes the policy for high-risk packages?

• A. High risk packages should be driver released
• B. High risk packages should be handled by security only
• C. High risk packages should not be driver released
• D. High risk packages should be delivered with a signature only

Answer: (C)

High-risk shipments require an extra layer of control and verification before they’re released. If a package is driver released, it can be handed over without confirming the recipient or obtaining proper authorization, creating opportunities for theft or misdelivery. The correct approach is to ensure high-risk items are not released to the driver and are handled with appropriate security steps—typically requiring secure handling or release only after proper verification, such as a signature from an authorized recipient or release by security personnel. This emphasis on verification and security protects the shipment and the customer.
