Haven't heard anything about this lately? They said at our union hall this weekend that it's coming to a neighboring hub near us this year.. any news on how it's working for the guys that are tue-sat?? Thanks
70 in your local?Was told that we were getting it this year, and I believe 70 buildings will be on it by years end.
So did ISince the conversation will end up there anyway. Amazon delivered a package to my sister in law yesterday.
Since the conversation will end up there anyway.... USPS works Saturday AND Sunday thanks to Amazon.Since the conversation will end up there anyway. Amazon delivered a package to my sister in law yesterday.
Yeah this was not the post office though. This was a white unmarked van. With a pedophile looking dude driving it.Since the conversation will end up there anyway.... USPS works Saturday AND Sunday thanks to Amazon.
I hope we lose a lot of money with this idea.
Tremendous news. I hope it continues to be a complete failure. Dead on arrivalThey are going to start with a bid for the change of Tuesday through Saturday. They will also offer a Tuesday through Saturday preload as well. Some places have tried this and discontinued it already. It isn't seeming to be a profitable solution everywhere and in every market so far.
I saw a trailer with Amazon logo, flipped over on it's side, and packages being transferred to two Penske trucks during peak season. I regret not pulling over to take a picture, but it was 10pm and I was exhausted and just wanted to get back.Yeah this was not the post office though. This was a white unmarked van.

Go back to stealing time and ratting out fellow Teamsters.
We're starting in the next few months and most people don't know.Going strong here. Just started running post office along with the ground last week. For those wondering also, we aren't running anything other than NDA Saturday, all savers and NDA for Monday are held, only ground residential and UPS stores.
Monday's suck for those that work, spread out like a hooker on BOGO night. Until the whole system is pushing loads like during peak, we are just robbing ground from Monday.

When they first came out with it, they needed to add extra staffing. All new hires were told T-Sat was their required shift. They filled in with the lowest FT drivers and forced them on the new schedule, after asking for volunteers, to complete the minimum needs for the new day.We're starting in the next few months and most people don't know.
I'm really confused how this is going to work without rebidding routes, which contractually isn't supposed to happen here until February 2018.
is about to hit the fan.
Fedex and the usps both offer this. We work for the best company in the industry. They have to complete and their competitors offer this. I don't like it but it is necessary. My guess is that some areas it works and others it doesn't. It's still to early to see. What we have to do is mentality prepare ourselves for this. Our competition offers it. We don't want to get passed by.Tremendous news. I hope it continues to be a complete failure. Dead on arrival
