That is just for the customers asking for refunds.
Keep cutting routes, that saves a ton of money.

We were running air in trace in February for
s sake. NOW they are wondering why they were losing money on air?
It's completely wrong if I go somewhere and get bad service, do you think I'm coming back?We were running air in trace in February for

I think the no drivers past 8pm thing, has been around a while. Only the air drivers are out past 8pm.

You know the UPS way. Throw a 2 for 1 coupon your way and you will be back.

LMAO... The care runs deep.
This
doesn't make any sense. They are oapayi drivers to not work. Yes they aren't getting money on their paycheck but they are still getting benefits for not workingThe math they use is absolutely ridiculous. Let's give a route that picks up a ton of packages a handful of extra home stops, so they make stops per car. Heaven forbid those routes get back to the building early so they can be processed.

Deplorable.
They haven't always cracked down though.
8 pm was a wet dream in my center for a while when the stops per car nonsense was being pressed.
Same thing is going on around here.... Everyone is loving it Actually feel like a humanSo... ontime network. We’ve heard this before right?
This push seems to be much different than the othersf, pick up times have been changed, airport plane departure times have been changed... in my building lots has been changed...
The result?
Honestly amazing. Most of my center has been off by 7pm. I’m happy as
Why now?
This could have happened anytime over the past couple years. I straight up told my center manager that I felt this was an absolute front, and I felt this was done directly to get yes votes. I told him this after our pcm the past couple days where they claimed
“this is done to get us done at a reasonable time so we can get home to our family, and so our customer are happy with ontime air service”
Absolute bs. This is 100% for yes votes. I’ll be honest, even my sour ass will enjoy my job a lot more if I keep getting home and get to enjoy an hour of sun lite
My purpose of this thread is to inspire thought.... why now? Why the hard push? Why?
Think about it....

What is this 'on-time' network we are talking about? Around here we have the same start time, stop counts have ticked up between 15 and 25 stops per route due to this new CIR crap that is "supposed" to save us so much time.
We sent out 2 routes yesterday that were dispatched with over 200 stops, our stupid bozo computer says 200 stops in town is a 7 hour dispatch. 5 years ago, these same routes had a 140 stop day that was 8 hours by the same bozo 'puter.
Now I don't know about all the younger folks that we have now, but there is no way in hell this old guy is even gonna even attempt 30 stops per hour to make my numbers look good.
Oh, almost forgot, they moved our air truck departure time up 15 minutes last year as the "plane was gonna depart for Louisville earlier", but it still leaves at the same time it did a year ago.
And we still have drivers going out with 10 plus hour dispatchs that can't make the air truck and management can't figure out what the problem is...
Shocking, I know.

All I've got is more stops. I'm still not getting of before 7:30 with a 40 minute earlier start time. It's a NO vote

perfection
now that the drivers late start times and late nights are over, I am definitely voting yes.
Sounds nice where you are. Are preload has never gotten done later than what it is now and us drivers are getting loaded up with 10+ hours. Must be nice.
Iowa boy, you should know what "on time network" is if you worked in the Iowa district twenty years ago. Then District Manager Rocky R. was the father of the concept that the entire network works best if drivers are dispatched between 8 hours and 9.5 hours. He was so successful at reducing driver paid day and making all the cost & service numbers that he was promoted to the East Central and Southeast Region manager. It worked great and provided a balance between driver hours and service/cost. Unfortunately, he retired 7 years ago and this sounds like the first attempt to bring back a very successful program!

They didn't change anything here except...
At PCM they mention everyone has a light dispatch (untrue)
Then when you punch out at 9-9.5 hours they make it a point to say "you had a good dispatch today".
No!
8-8.5 is a good dispatch.
Our entire hub used to get in from 4PM to 6:30 PM when I started driving.
The goal was an average 8.3-8.3 paid day.
Nothing more than a ploy for a yes vote. Unless we get real language limiting hours we will be back to 70 hour weeks every November and December, and 10+ hour dispatches the rest of the year.
This crap means nothing unless guaranteed by strong language in the contract.

He was my district manager.
30+ 9.5 grievances filed by me during that time frame.
Under allowed and over 9.5 nearly every day.
You have to go back 30 years to see actual control over hours.
This is a temporary "initiative" to garner yes votes.
