Any other centers using AI for their routes

[Brownt10]

Any other centers using AI to cut runs in their building & lay people off? In our building the FT 22.3’s don’t deliver air most of the time bc their runs get cut so the PT air drivers get to go on road.

AI couldn't be any worse than the dispatcher we have now. In theory AI learns from its mistakes and gets better over time... It has been proven our dispatcher does not

Grieve it. Your 22.3 guaranteed 8. Is this 22.3 an inside/inside job or Article 40 Combo Air job?

Here the company is in the process of trying to put all air on RPCD trucks. This is happening in centers that don't have AI as well.

Looks like the company is tired of centers using air drivers to deliver ground so they are trying to just eliminate them completely.

I think he said in another thread he is still getting his 8 but not being allowed to do the nice easy money work.

Part-time car washers?

They are a different local in my area and can't perform any driving work other then parking and washing cars.

Originally, I thought the same thing now I can definitely say it’s worse

Well knowing UPS they have probably contracted some half-baked AI hosted on a server in someone's mom's basement

Our dispatcher did tell me they were going to have a call about implementing AI soon. Not sure when or to what extent.

Lucky. Our cars don't get washed unless drivers do it themselves.

The AI (along with rural deferment) has been a disaster in my center. I’m racking up three day per week over 9.5 penalty pay and have plenty of two days per week grievances that SHOULD be paid as well. Those went to penal though.

Having to drag a cut car to the wash in the morning due to legitimately unsafe visibility happens a few times every year. Not including afternoon washes. They'll collect dust in the yard and the usual drivers don't touch them otherwise.

@PT Car Washer now entering the chat....

They're using AI to "optimize" sleeper runs.

Just like roads (traffic patterns). In IT we have OSPF.

What is the most efficient way to route something from point A to point B?

The IVIS in the future will tell us what path to take. Dispatch management will be eliminated.

I can't imagine the data UPS has on traffic every time one of us hits "delay - traffic".

They're paying us to collect data, to kill more jobs lol.
