Preventing Deliveryman Theft

Picture of a truck with boxes being unloaded.
Deliverymen have many opportunities to steal -- they have access to invoices, they deal directly with merchandise, and they know the weaknesses of managers and other staff working in the stores on their routes. Many of the scams and frauds described in this section are subtle, so if a deliveryman is caught stealing it's easy for him to say that discrepancies are just "honest mistakes." But beware, for many of these "mistakes" are calculated attempts to steal by taking advantage of store owners and employees.
