My UPS building does bus people in but it’s just a local bus.

I know they are busing employees in but I bet Jackson Ms is not one of the locations. Way too far away.

I didn't believe it at first either, but I personally verified it with a senior manager...and yes, freakin' Jackson, MS!!!

Jackson Ms is as far away from the Hub as Nashville. I believe the Sr. was jerking your chain. From what I read, the employees are on the clock from the time they get on the bus till the time they get off the bus. Those employees are gonna be paid for almost 7 hrs every day for drive time? Highly unlikely. I know they bus from Clarksdale and other areas in Ms. Busing from Jackson? I would bet a Happy Meal that is bad info.

Was told the same thing about them being on the clock while on the bus.
Enjoy your happy meal...

Not hard to believe at all. This company will spend a dollar to save a nickel all day long.

No doubt.
Besides that, Fred will recoup the expense somewhere else, like at the expense of the hourly employees or the customer.

I think it’s more when applicants learn what they’ll get paid for what’s expect of them, coupled with getting Sundays and Tuesdays off or whatever Fat Freddy decides works best for him.

How often is the freight late? It was getting to the point of being 3 days a week the last summer I was there.

All I can attest to is our ramp. Our flight has be consistently +30 min late or more, for over a year now.

Wow. I was at a station in between Baltimore and DC, and it was consistently 30 minutes late before the pandemic, but from March 2020 to when I left in November, it was over an hour late nearly every day that wasn’t Monday with an occasional good two or three day streak sprinkled in there.

We can make up some time with a mini-sort at the ramp, depending on how MEMH loads the plane, but we find FO's hand loaded in the crew luggage nets or under the jump seats, mixed freight in the bellies, mislabeled ULD's, ADG in a ULD not in position 1 on the plane, etc ...and that eats up time sorting that
out, which in turn puts the trucks out late to the stations, puts a delay on the sort at the stations, etc.And this is just at our small ramp. I can only imagine what it's like at bigger one or other ramps here in the states. Someone is being payed a lot of money not to fix this...

Don't let it stress you out.

What do you care?
The truth be told is you’re more stressed out about it than he is.

Na. It's just funny how certain people stress over every little item.

I don’t really care how late it is. I won’t kill myself getting everything off and I’m fine bringing freight back as not attempted.

All while skipping lunch. You never skip lunch in order to make service. That is managements problem, not yours.
