Heaven forbid I might have a 7.9 day. But we can cut some routes and have the safety guy play with his weiner for 8 hours.
9.5 is a joke

We have guys missing stuff because they eliminate too many routes. Great work IE.I remember when they would do that. Often came from up above. Up in the tower. I know my manager didn't want to do that to me. I am that guy who doesn't say a word. Everything is said the following day on that payroll.
When they dissolve a route, it just hurts everyone too much. Everyone's running at 130%, and then they try and stuff a bit more? I remember thinking: are you sure you wanna do this? LOL! Funny looking back. I feel for you guys going through this now.

My thoughts on this are
If my start time is 8:30 I'am late if I punch in at 8:31
If nda is delivered at 10:31 it's late
If a 2nd day a.m. Is deliverd after 12:00 it's late
You see where Iam going with this
It seems as though UPS wants it both ways
Imo this should have been dealt with along time ago

IE seems to deal only with the theory of the way it should go,,,,
if circumstances are perfect!

Ran into this problem big time on July 3rd. They planned us to not have enough guys to cover all the pickups, never mind deliver everything. Screamed about it for 6 weeks. Never heard a peep. Said screw it and put in extra cars, wasn't taking the missed.
Average paid day was still 10.1. Everybody else had huge missed and late numbers. We got screamed at on the AM call on the 3rd and looking liked geniuses on the 5th. Go figure.

I'm assuming you are management and no one knows who you are, so you can be sorta upfront. To a limit of course.
Back about 20-30 years ago, we really did have to make an attempt on everything. Even when we were sheeting (writing) our stops. Better get those 2nd days off too! Don't miss the 2nd days! I was audited a couple of times upon return to bldg.
Then I hear from drivers in package, they are told occasionally to bring stuff back. I have had expected deliveries, that didn't make it to me. They were on the wrong car.
In feeder (1996-2000), we catered to feeder accounts like they were ALL Amazon.
Maybe 5-6 years ago, we were leaving FULL trailers at pick up accounts. Not once, twice or three times - but whenever we were just too busy. Not a second thought! This was mainly at peak.
Short question to you. Is this/was this okay now? What happened?? I just assumed bringing stuff back was accepted now. What can you tell me? thanks in advance.

Bringing stuff back shouldn't be acceptable anywhere. Unfortunately IE puts us in a position sometimes where you have to risk it happening.

Yes, but it wasn't accepted before and it was extremely rare when it happened. It happened plenty within the last few years, but I understand.

Thanks for getting my daughter's college dorm wastebasket to my house, Target free shipping on a $4 item. I left the light on tomorrow for the desk lamp.
And no, I know the driver who delivered it, it wasn't the post office.

Since when, did sheeting a and delivering a package at 10:30 diad timestamp become on-time? Is that new? I've had that happen more than once and they were late.

I'm not sure if upper management views them as screwing up. I remember many drivers concerning themselves with time study numbers. Why, I don't know. But "possibly" if IE lowers a rating and over a period of time drivers try to pick it up to get out of the hole and away from harassment. Point being, even if more drivers go in the hole, but they've squeezed out more SPORH - that may be considered a success. Unless you're of the belief that IE is trying to be fair? Then disregard everything I wrote.
IE does nothing more than rationalize fictitious improvements in efficiency.

Ahh yes. The safety guy. He's not playing with his own wiener. Doesn't he have his own chair underneath the boss's desk? No shame. It's usually a newer guy. Doesn't know any better?

Wrong. 10:30 is not late. As long as the package is sheeted while the DIAD still says 10:30 it is not late. If you have 25 packages for one stop. The first one is sheeted at 10:30 and the other 24 take 30 minutes to find and you stop complete at 11am it's not late. But don't move that truck before you stop complete.

10:30 has always been on time
