the Christmas Poo?It's mr hanky
This is my first response here on Brown Cafe.
Whenever I have the thought of the possibility of having late air, I put it in their hands and say "I might have late air" or "I'm going to be late with air" or (they really like this one) "what's the late air reason today?" Lol! Regardless of their response, I let them know w plenty of time to resolve the problem, so then the pressure is off me.
My steward told me once: "You aren't the first, nor will you be the last guy to have late air....COVER YOUR ASS!"
(I hear this advice like Luke hears Obi Wan)
Just make sure that you run straight air. If you have lates and delivered any ground you are setting yourself up for possible discipline.
Air...ground? Isn't this Express we're talking about?
Do not sign anything pertaining to "Numbers" until your manage sits in the passenger seats of your truck and ride with you ALL day. Not just until 10am. You need a check ride p1,p2 and pickups. Your vehicle has the ability to kill. Yoursafety and that of the public comes first. How would a father take it if some deliver driver, after killing his daughter, says "My manager said I wasn't going fast enough."?
Most of the time they'll ignore such notes/emails mostly because the district is telling them not to make adjustments lowering SPH for some ridiculous reasons.Don't sign anything. I have seen managers do checkrides and not make adjustments as they should have based on the courier's performance. When you choose not to sign or acknowledge something, you can always send a polite email to your manager/whoever you feel necessary containing a note of why you are not signing/acknowledging something at the time being if you feel like it.

Goldi, he's the 'Massive Stinkies' Guy. Didn't you catch his thread from a few weeks back? It's the stuff of folklore.
If service is due by noon (Saturday), asking for help by 11 or 11:15 would probably work.
Is making service on Saturday a problem for you? That's usually an easy day

Let 'em fire you. Collect for 6 months and think long and hard about the direction your life is headed. And imagine how much better off you are without a deadend FedEx job. Make Fred your Ex.
Sure it is, when the CTV gets there at 10:00.
Don't you guys have relaxed commit times on Saturday?
If you're serious, no. Still have to make service.
If you're being sarcastic, haha, funny.
At FedEx it's immaterial, as both are prohibited while driving. No Bluetooth, period, and no phones in the cab.
They're 90 minutes later. We start much later too and freight is often late so the later commitment time isn't an advantage.Don't you guys have relaxed commit times on Saturday?
