[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1062644, member: 12508"] As usual, management seems to be handling peak from a budgetary perspective, instead of a logical one that maximizes service and profit. For example, my local market is getting way more freight than forecast, but management is sitting on their hands counting pennies. Per my RTD contacts at the ramp, because they are so concerned about hours, dozens of cans sit every morning waiting on RTDs to move them. Nobody is starting early, even though the need is obvious. Dollars trump the operation. Conversely, the local stations [B]are [/B]starting people early in order to get a jump on the freight, so one aspect of the operation is not talking to the other. Nothing new there. What [I]is [/I]new is the pure helplessness and insanity that Memphis has thrown upon the already operationally-challenged management. By allowing them no flexibility in scheduling, they shoot themsleves in the foot every day. Late freight to the stations means late packages, Code 1's, and late CTV's and shuttles returning to the ramp in the PM. Common sense...down the toilet. It's all about cutting hours and shaving costs, even during peak. Once this cluster is over watch for a return to The Plan big-time. Any of you who think that there has been a major deviation are dreaming. It's just a temporary slowdown because they were ill-equipped to make it happen. Utter incompetence...every day. [/QUOTE]
