[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 76201, member: 484"] Tie Come on now, lets not get off track. Having more drivers on road will help some of the problems you have addressed so well. You see, cutting out two routes here at the center level because PAS can save us so much money and time is really a good idea. That keeps out the delivery drivers that have full loads delivering those rezzies instead of getting that volume back to the building. After all, what good does it do to have 90% of the volume back to the building before 7 instead of having 75% hitting the door after 830 so the sorts have to scramble to try and get the feeders out an hour late. Sure, makes sense to me. After all, most of our delivery driver pickups are made before 7, and hell, I know about those that need even a later pickup. But you ever heard about getting what they have ready earlier on, and having a driver sweep the pickup clean later on? A driver that does not have several thousand pickup pieces on his truck from a 5PM pickup? Get the volume back to the building earlier, yes there will be some volume straggle in late, but the majority would be processed and on the feeders, instead of still out delivering or picking up. You see, the way I figure it, right now UPS is being really penny wise and buck foolish. So Tie my dear friend, put your thinking cap on and come up with some solutions. Or do we have to do that part too? As for you having to work on a sat to take care of a customer, lets just say that is one of the hard earned perks of managment?:thumbup1: d [/QUOTE]
