[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 219568, member: 1944"] Great post by the way. WTF, eliminate routes. Well PAS?EDD i dont know anything. I just know that in our building, it came about after the great Ups never fixed the numbers when we went diad instead of pen and paper, like that would happen, hahahaha. A major hi tech company just forgot to give themselves credit for a major innovation. Ok that coulda happened:w00t: And then since no one really knew the dispatch we took a little of 45 c and added it to 45 b, then since it didnt all fit we added it to 45a and paid absolutely no attention to loop detail which now is an unknown term, and decided well it wont save money but...if we send 45 a to a split 15 mi away, and give him 45 stops at 23sporh, we will look good on paper and so what if we totally screw 15/20 customers so long as it looks good on the or. Then if they call and complain , we will tell 45 b that they have to get the 45a am work to them by noon, plus keep all those already use to am delivery happy, and they will pull another 15 miles to serve those customers and maybe get in a rythm by noon. After delivering all of a. b and c air, that those routes can no longer get to since they are somewhere totally not on route. You are so totally right, and Im guessing you like I are just a truck driver, how could we know. This cycle is based on numbers, when they look at the operating expense somewhere down the road, someones head will roll, and not the one forced by upper to do these ridiculous moves. I do know dispatch, I was very good at it, you used what worked, kept the splits close to the building, kept mileage in mind, and service. Right now its balls to the wall, to cut a route, to a minimal number, when easily, 1,2 or three could have made a whole lot people less money, and UPS a whole lot more, but the trade off would be people got to see their families, its summer, it should not be dark when you get home. Say Im bitter, no I actually dont care. I can sling qvc at 40 plus per hr, I dont have a family, and I dont need the money. You want to pay me to do something so silly, knock yourself out, Im at your beck and call. But on a financial side, its stupid for ups and the stockholders. [/QUOTE]
