E-Star* Update!

I was hopeful, I really was.
Who doesn't want to pick up their LEO, not argue with people about stops and take the thinking out of it?
After witnessing another Saturday debacle, lets just say you better keep thinking.

Our estar launch is delayed til fall(right before peak) not enough equipment apparently, we are also short 20-30 leos a day.

DisaSTAR….Who really didn’t see this coming?

We started ESTAR on Saturdays about 3 weeks ago. Management are thumping their chest about making service, not a word about it taking double the routes to do it.

Most stations can’t even get freight on time and now service is important this week?

I'm wondering if we'll ever have enough staffing to do regular SRA routes, forget about e-star.

E Star was activated at my station last Saturday. It will only be used on Saturdays for now, but I was told it went poorly. Someone had an FO and it was listed as his 15th stop. They shut it off a few hours into the day.

FedEx needs to stop trying to be like Amazon.

What exactly is E Star?

Turn by turn, Stop order must be followed regardless of route/knowledge or a stops at 123 main and another at 125 Main that are 4-5 hours apart. You may get 5-10 stops on way to original route and 5-10 on return trip to station. pray you get your outbound back before shuttle leaves

But can’t you ignore it and run a route more efficiently?

According to Estar, your route isn't more efficient...
Just like DRA, you are expected to stay within a certain % of the "plan"
That assume your Zeros' are some how factored in as well as addresses that show up in random areas on the map(I have an aparment complex and the dots show up in 5 or 6 places on my map about 4 miles away from the actual location.

Only to save your senior managers ass.

Crap that FedEx wastes their money on that’ll be abandoned once they see how much it’ll cost in overtime and service failures.

Well, I see that as a real possibility.

We haven’t heard anything about this.
