That looks clean compared to our terminal. Routes haven't been delivered in two weeks, People working Sunday but told to hand sheet so as not to violate DOT hours. Terminal manager, pd managers delivering. All but two ISP failing. Guy in New Jersey sent me a picture of full trailers lined up down the street not being unloaded.
I know around here we let many Walmart trailers sit fully loaded for days. We let them go over their volume cap with no way to handle the freight. Good call PGH.Are they not even unloading Walmart trailers? I have orders with tracking numbers that don't show up in the FedEx system that were shipped earlier in the week
Good thing the system is completely backed up and tomorrow is supposed to be one of the busiest mondays of the month LOL
Outside at 0900 this morning (Sunday), and Ground W700 delivering packages in the neighborhood. You can still see the outline of the old Express stickers.
W700, well at least they are using a good truck then, even if its sunday.
Spot on DVJ. It's the fedex sleaze factor. Go out and deliver even though your hours are maxed out. Now if somebody gets caught then it was the contractor who did this without X knowledge or consent.
Poor guys not getting overtime either, labor laws don't apply at ground!I swear the ground guy that does my neighborhood hasnt gone home in a week. I thought i was working late last week not a chance when i see him still out at 10pm making deliveries
I like the ground trucks that are just a big box on the back of an f250 i cant believe they expect someone to work out of that
Why would you do this? What's in it for you to do it is my question?Gah, i'm in one of those... the rear step height is higher than their gmc counterpart, so it's gonna wear out your knees if one doesn't use "3-points-of-contact"
What's worse, i had to borrow another contractor's spare p700 because i can't cram my 151 boxes in my 10' boxvan rental. What a difference working out of a stepvan!
I thought i was gonna be out there until 2200, but having ease of the proper vehicle for this type of residential deliveries, i clocked out at 2030 instead!
Im back to that 10' rental on Monday though, so I'll brick it out & leave what i can't fit for the next day
Of course we're fudging our start times to not include the preload process of the hd operation... otherwise, i will hit my 14-hour DOT limit and come back with ~30 DNAs
Why would you do this? What's in it for you to do it is my question?
One ISP lost 3 drivers, Another 4. One guy took out a full truck, I mean packed to the gills. 180 stops. Parks it at his house, packs his things and moves out of state. Calls the ISP and says where to find the truck. Many towns and cities not even being serviced. Packages not even leaving the building. And peak has just started! Wow!
