Amazon adds 12 planes to its growing air-cargo fleet that's encroaching on FedEx and UPS

Those tires look at worn out as @rod slippers he shuffles in around the house.

Screw you---I can move twice as fast as that.

Sure- but there's enough volume to hire more UNION workers. Five days a week is good for me. You want six? Have at it. Not fighting with you but no need for six days in June. Sorry.

And what do we do with the newly hired drivers once all this additional volume dries up??

 

[Two Tokes]

Good.

I'm getting tired of delivering can openers, key chains, and makeup via NDA saver.

Yes indeed
I wish we would cut them off for a month and let them choke on their own sheet
Good luck getting all that crap delivered with your own "drivers"

 

[watdaflock?]

Hopefully that means less tires, rims, exhaust pipes, furniture, etc...

Who says it's going to dry up? Never mind- let's just let supervisors work and force hourlies to work extra days. That's a better idea.

Same thing that happens anytime there’s a drop in volume

Management says it’ll dry up. Any day now.... been saying that for months lol

From the very beginning our feeder managers said this volume wasn't going away anytime soon. With all of that knowledge they waited two months before adding enough rental tractors to run the volume we had before the Kung Flu hit.

Penske tractors are $550 a week and like $.05 a mile to rent. I'm sure my hubs start-work delay time could rent a small fleet of tractors and actually pull loads on time.

@1BROWNWRENCH how do you feel about these tires? How long should it take to get tires?

It all depends. There are times orders don't get processed with our supplier correctly. We have a new system now where they are barcoded so in theory they are automatically reordered direct. It may take about a week if there are enough in the stocked amount returning to meet immediate demand. Possibly longer if a special order has to be placed.

Could be any day now

If they are being sent through UPS they are sitting in Bulk Mountain somewhere.

Monday’s are fun because the irregular trailers get processed over the weekends.

I had a box of diapers yesterday, to a house that was one mile from a Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and Family Dollar

But that was NDA, with the 10:30 deadline

You lay them off!!!! Duuuuuuuh!! My first couple months I worked about 8 days total, and it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Showed up every day. We were light so nobody wanted to take dead days. I had to wait my turn. Imagine that????

 

[Poop Head]

I bet if they brick load that truck and you come in tomorrow and refuse to drive it. They'll have new tires on it when you come in Monday.

Lmao. Yeah, steer tires!
