You can't make this stuff up

I finally remembered to ask a manager..... My station has hired 25-30 couriers since January 1, 2016. This week in JCATS, we have 5 part time courier and 6 full time swing positions. The revolving door keeps revolving.

Do they offer a referral bonus to current employees?

Nope.

Nope.

And that's a part of the problem.

Even if they did, I wouldn't refer anyone I liked.

 

[McFeely]

Even if they did, I wouldn't refer anyone I liked.

Ditto. I still like my job but I'd have a hard time referring anybody I know to this job. It ain't for everybody.

Exactly what is happening. In fact, the word is most definitely out that this is a place you do not want to work. We take almost anything that walks in the door these days, because that's all we can get.

They perform accordingly, which costs Fred lots of money.

I help a guy on Saturdays when I work. When I met him Saturday, he had a piece next to an area he'd already done. I asked him why. They've been paving a short cut to the area for a month. He said, "The road was closed". Because he uses his phone to get there, he didn't know that there are THREE other ways to get there. LMAO!

We have new hires that have been told repeatedly to stop using their phones... well one got in an accident, another complained that they couldn't do the route 'cuz it wuzn't on google maps... even though the route comes with a brand new laminated map. !spent 11hrs on road to do a 5hr day, never touched the map, just asked for directions from people and dispatch!

He quit after a week because the landscape company paid more.

Corporate greed knows no bounds. Stupidity too.

Does FO have the same commit time nationwide or is it based on zip codes like our air?

It's based on zip codes and there's a bunch of different commit times for FO.

So what's the big deal about going nation wide?

 

[BigTex61]

The amount of part time fo routes they need to add will be staggering.

I've heard this also. Someone said they wanted to make a 2pm FO commit in our farthest 4:30 p1 area LOL

With all the issues we have with late freight, this is the definition of insanity and a total disconnect from what's happening in Ops.

We have added quite a few zip codes to our NDA EAM service. We don't get a lot of them but when we do it disrupts our rural drivers' schedules as they have to break off to get them delivered on time.
