9:30 start time

[WorknLateHuh]

UPS drivers work 1st and 2nd shift now. We need a hour for lunch and dinner. It's so ridiculous.

Almost 2 years it's been like this. Wonder why moral is crashing...

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I saw a 9:30 am start time notification in a center when I was walking into work last week. It must be nationwide. I used to get pissy over leaving the building between 8:45 and 9:00. Just another reason to be glad I’m in feeder.

Screw perfect service Monday

It’s prime week not princess week.

I love these days. ~45 minutes of OT to slowly load the truck and otherwise shoot the breeze on the belt.

The union should remind drivers that starting late is no excuse for rushing or cutting corners. Start late, get in late. Service disruptions are not in your control.

The real question should be, why is the company allowing Amazon to dictate how they service every other non-Amazon customer? You start the drivers late and you upset every aspect of the operation.

This is how they plan to get year round PVDs. They will say that the drivers aren't making the commit times so they need PVDs to do it. They will have the air ready by 9am for the PVDs to deliver. Slowly they will continue to take work away from the drivers and give it to the PVDs. After about a year of this, the PVDs will be taking most of the work away from the drivers along with their uniform and package car. And before anyone says it can't be done cause of the contract, well the contract is useless when it's backed by a weak union.

It doesn’t make sense to screw the more profitable shippers (particularly NDAs) to appease a barely profitable account that is trying to gobble up all of the market share.

Well NDA's get done on time but that means retracing afterwards. More time added to the pm side which gets pickups in later. It becomes a vicious cycle.

I thought delivering air packages was an air drivers job?

Late start=more miles chasing NDA and messing up ORION trace which I follow 100%

More miles=less stops

We have enough idiots in my bldg that will still come in early and set up thier truck off the clock...So I doubt they will set a reasonable start time again.

A grievance will stop that activity. No working off the clock.

Fedex delivered a package to my house from Germany this morning at 8:30 and came from a building at least an hour away.
