I believe it was 60 pick up stops, much harder than 60 delivery stops.

The new corporate standard is 60 SPH for deliveries. The DRA team showed Smith a spreadsheet that said so....must be true.

Just telling it like it is
Next year the spreadsheet will show 75. Thornton will be on Frontline demanding that from everyone.
Lol, I wasn't really trained. Had a lax courier that didn't care too much. I worked AM doing deliveries preparing myself for that PM route once more. Now that I know I got 30 days to make numbers, I'm more motivated. Yes, managers will meet with you...Make you intimidated. I just kept my head up.

Why would you pup a drop box early? We get paid by the hour. If your drop box ready time is 1630, you open it at 1630.

I will a get drop box started early, just because after working 10 plus hours I really don't want to be out any longer. Just want to get done and be home.

I do the same---scan the barcode, scan all of the packages and then sit there and wait for the commit time so I can close out the stop.
You need more work.

I would agree with you for today---double tripped to make sure I had my 8 hours. I had time to go to the ATM and am now sitting at a drop box. It's nice to have days like this every once in a while.

I'm sure that 3 minutes you saved by puping a drop box early really makes a difference. By hitting stops early, you're playing right into managements hands. They get away with paying you less for the same amount of work and if anyone ever complains or someone sees you puping early, they can get rid of you no problem.

He didn't say he was closing the drop
box out early. He said he was scanning the packages and was all et when it was time to close out the stop. That is working smarter, not harder.

I've done that too.
I'm ready to go back to the barn by then and besides there's always somebody that wants to ship something out 5 minutes after the close time and usually has no paperwork filled out. Hell with that, we'll get it tomorrow.

We aren't supposed to scan packages before the pup open time. All it would take is a manager seeing you puping a drop box early to lose your job. We don't have a union protecting us.

Heck I've even done this on a checkride. Print up labels, pull the FedEx copies of the airbills, have that all done and at 4:30 scan the barcode inside the box, comeback to the vehicle and scan the packages. Hell, the managers are ready to go home long before then anyway.

The GPS in your Power Pads will show that you are at the drop box when you started scanning the packages and when you closed out the box. You are not closing the box out early----you are just getting ready so that you can close it out right at the commit time.
I just don't see what the issue is.
Are you really bold enough,to tell the Fedex drivers.....proper methods?
