[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 793964, member: 12508"] This is the Dispatch/On-call program that we talked about a few months ago. On-calls essentially mean that you need to become more skillful at mixing pickups into your deliveries because they are at the customer's direction, and not scheduled the day before. At Express, for example, say you have a 1600 cutoff for on-calls. If the customers calls at 1559, guess what? They will get a pickup the same day, and the driver will have to work it in. This sounds like Fred's foot into the door to make Ground service a clone of Express service. I would expect this initial phase to be greatly expanded in the future, which will also expand the FedEx span and scope of control. Lawyers, get your briefcases ready! [/QUOTE]
