8.2 hr dispatch stategy likely to drag down performance for UPS

[soberups]

You have such a hard-on for ORION

Yes, as a matter of fact I do.
Instead of taking a Viagra when I am feeling frisky...I just load the wife into the car and we make 10 left turns against heavy traffic on the highway, follow a school bus around for half an hour while it drops off the kids, and then go for a nice relaxing drive in the country so that she can experience the orgasmic bliss of driving at 15MPH to the far end of a potholed, washboard, dead-end, 4 mile long gravel road....twice in one day.
Who knew that an algorithm could work so well as an aphrodasiac?

It's probably common knowledge that one of the reasons UPS has always loaded drivers up with heavy days is that it keeps the pressure on and hence faster performance. I'm now finding that I'm finishing under 8 often along with many other guys. In an effort to fill out the day, that only means we're going to slow down (not that we're working faster than a normal pace now). There's definitely going to be that lack of urgency that the job has normally called for. UPS knows this so why play this game now? Only a matter of time before they see production numbers fall off a cliff and we'll be back with the OT.

I have definitely slowed down! Walk casually everywhere I go, drive casually and taken my time to talk to the customers and petted the dogs? The fallout of these actions have to be seen!!!

It's the truth . We've had so many ling days that you actually work a little quicker on an easy day

And safer too I imagine.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

And safer too I imagine.

Most definitely

 

[TearsInRain]

the company is desperate to improve service and reduce attrition

look at everything through those lenses and it makes more sense

 

[Raw]

This job is a marathon, not a sprint. The only reason I have 31 years in is because we were dispatched 8 hour days years ago..with the excessive OT you younger drivers will never make 31 years.. this is how it`s supposed to be.

Was this supposed to be funny?

That is gross and fascinating all at the same time

A bad Ling day beats a good day at work anytime!

So, this ain't happinng for you?

 

[burco8080]

we was told at morning pcm that the reduced hours is coming from the top. They finally realize how much ot they was paying out and saw they could add more drivers and cars and save $$$

 

[Analbumcover]

They've qualified/hired too many drivers for peak so now our local sort has about 12 FT drivers working every night. PT'ers are quitting left and right because they can't get reliable hours since they are told to not bother coming in. Then when peak does arrive and all the drivers are back on-road, management is going to be scrambling to find people to load trailers.

 

[CoolStoryBro]

It's funny looking at the Saturday sign up sheet now. Lot's of takers including 25 year guys.

This was my conspiracy all along. To get a reliable Saturday work force they will restrict OT m-friend.

I'm at almost 10 hours of OT for the week. Business as usual here. Only routes done early were the pick-up heavy routes so they can get pick-up volume in. Rural, resi routes still going out with 10-11 hour days.

Smooth stops and turns buys time. Having an empty truck where you can select a package quickly makes for a smooth stop.

I'm losing all my time to ODO selection. Digging through the load is killing my numbers. But no one is asking me anything about it.

8-9 hour days extends a career. I tell them that everytime I’m asked to help.

Thankful nothing drives me quite as insane as Orion drives you

He isn’t talking about Orion itself. He’s talking about incompetence of the people who push the joke of a system. It is, in fact, the opposite of “methods”.

That's what ups wants, 7 year driver, no pension to pay, young ones are hungry even at 18 an hour. Now James Hoffa sold us out with some language and no guaranteed 8 hours of pay. 22 4 drivers to deliver so come Monday pay actual.

 

[Coldworld]

I think they are practicing teytry to keep people under 9.5 so that they sodon have the pay out any grievances.

That and these injuries and accidents drivers get into from rushing around has to cost the company huge money....
