[QUOTE="JohnnyPraze, post: 402861, member: 17725"] Funny you say that... We joke around about commission all the time. Any type of commission will never happen for one reason, we make the company too much money. (And still get treated like outcasts... At least in my Hub) We work very closely with the finance department, so we're all on first a first name basis. The Laurel Mountain District Controller is up our butt all the time. It's money, money, money. Between the auditors and the Dimensional Weight system, our hub recovers $100,000-$200,000 a month between all of the shifts. (It's insane) When it comes to a lot of the issues, it's all politics. I can list handfuls of shippers who UPS knowingly lets 150+ pound packages in the system because they don't want to ship them freight. Instead of RTS'ing them, we just hit them with the bill and send them on their way. (I feel bad for the Metro drivers that have to deliver these things.) I'm sure you guys see a lot of the same things from the same shippers. Reason is, a lot of big companies negotiate a specified rate to ship with us. They in return become untouchable until the contract is up. (Once the contract is up, one of two things happen: 1. They renew, or 2. They leave) It is very frustrating at times, because we have goals that are impossible to make. On average 1/3 of what I bill gets wrote off once the shipper complains about their bill. Not to mention all of the shippers that are exempt from jump street. I can see the job being eliminated in the next 7-10 years. [/QUOTE]
