[QUOTE="Backlasher, post: 1071125, member: 6276"] I agree . Growth can provide them with more capital to envest in productivity. I still think their drivers are yrs behind in their production standards. Their weakness is in contract drivers of low performance and cost per driver savings will be lost because thety will need 1.5 drivers to produce what ours do and that 1/2 driver handling the extra volumn will eat into their profits. With cost savings of contractors, you also loss power over their productivity. Many times in bad weather, I've seen Fedex fail to do pickups , yet we still push. you just can't keep large volumn with those kind of standards. Speaking of which, We need to focus this contract, not on raises but more routes so we can provide better quality service instead of being agressive, pushy producers!!!!! Put our profit envestments in more drivers, cleaner routes that are more capable of service, we make enough hrly. That's is where our problems lay. Many routes, our commercial are to spread out and we struggle to do QUALITY Pick-ups. if we have routes loaded with 24 pickups in a 1.5 hr span and a few of them surprise us with a heavy pick-up, we fail or are embarisingly late for pick-ups that fall after.!!!!! We need more time for service and that will only come with more Drivers, and less work on dlivery, or pick-up end. Not on hrly rate!!! also, it needs to be in stone, not just a contract like after 97 strike. If no raise then no raise in work load either, Put the $ were the routes are needed!!!! [/QUOTE]
