[QUOTE="DS, post: 76214, member: 556"] Tie Have any of your suggestions EVER resulted in actual changes in the way UPS runs things at your little managers meetings?I doubt it.Both hourlies,and low to mid level management at UPS are merely minions to the big brown megaphone that screams at us from high above.But I, being human,am prone to having opinions on things that I probably can`t change.Danny`s 8AM start is the best way to improve service and get drivers home in time to see thier family.I`d like to expand on that idea to 3 different start times that would be applied to drivers by seniority. 7:30AM drivers would deliver early AM pkgs and have mostly resi areas to fill out the rest of the day.8:30AM drivers would be the ones with established routes that now start at 9:00AM.9:30 drivers would be cleanup drivers and could cover for problems like breakdowns and overdispatching and would concentrate on pickups.and the "sweep"to get the last minute volume the other drivers couldnt get.Ok that said, I also think that Eskew should invest in a fleet of helicopters to insure that traffic will not affect the time sensitive NDA documents and pkgs that customers are waiting for.They will remember next time,after all its only 3 mouse clicks to get to [URL="http://www.fedex.com"]www.fedex.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
