with what we are doing now I am not surprised, Drivers will be also delivering advertisment literature along w pkgs, we are on trial with pakistan as they are and the intentions are to be permanent doing our doc matching on shipments. What will be left in the US. we have outsourced customer service and trying to do with billing. It is NOT the UPS as anyone knew it as. And now our insurance is on our heads to pay the last thing to go that kept UPS in the highest regards and employee draw.

I thought it was because I was tired when I read that post last night. Glad to know that you guys see it similarly.

Hoax and Blackbox were able to interpret angelmary7 using the Alcohol Edition of Rosetta Stone. Either that or they were drunk too!

Wow, I'm not saying that being sarcastic, but if we lose Walmart acct. that just means UPS is going to be going down hill again. Here in Columbia, SC the air ramp wanted to go international, but the people who were living close to the airport was complaining and we are losing flights slowly but surely and have another lay off if this doesn't get better.

I'm trying to care about UPS losing WalMart, but it's really hard. F WalMart. But then again, we need business or they'll keep shoveling sales leads up our arses again and no one likes that. Why would I turn in a sales lead if their going to lose major accounts? UPS corporate is going to kill the company with their short sighted decisions. Anytime you make a decision to make the quarter look good, you're ignoring the long term. I know we lost profit these last few years but we are still profitable during a huge recession. We're not f'ing starving!

Whats the point for sales leads? Don't barely get credit for them now.
Chatted with Hefeman (one "f") the other day. He didn't get his 25 yr service watch. (all rewards, and safety rewards are gone, due to cutbacks).
Tell ya, he wasn't very pleasent.

We have a winner!! FedEx could deliver all of WalMart's pkgs to the dumpster and UPS still would lose the account....because you are Teamsters and we are not. I'm sure you're "aware" that a commie union thug in a brown truck just isn't as wholesome and All-American as an underpaid but "free" non-union driver in a white truck with purple and orange lettering.

I know you're conservative, but don't WalMart's anti-union games kind of chap your hide?

Ghost in the Darkness · 10-15-2009, 06:31 PM

I asked a few of the drivers with Walmart on their route they say nothing has changed... pieces per day hasen't really changed..

They don't care about the politics of appearance of the drivers or the company that employees the drivers. All they care about is keeping the union out of Walmart and are willing to crap on ANY union company they can to show they mean business. Yeah....they chap my hide. I was already starting to shop there as little as possible (been going to Food Lion lately) but if this really happens then I will do my best to stay out of Walmart AND Sam's "Club."

I know the walmart on my rte has dropped in the last 3 years went from 100 pkgs a day to about 30 or 40. I used to fill a quarter of my P12 with just walmart now I barely fill a shelf. Yesterday fed ex delivered close to 100 I delivered 38.

The FedEx ground guy on my area always has a week old growth on his face, and wears a uniform that looks like he slept in it.

Walmart has decided to try and dominate the online retail business also. Here is the link to the story:

Poor Independent book sellers and even large retailers like Barnes & Nobel and Borders. This is the season where they need to make or break with pre-Xmas sales. A price war of this magnitude will benefit customers for sure (even the people who deliver it) but devastating for their competition.
