[QUOTE="soberups, post: 669499, member: 14668"] RDI (Remote Delivery Initiative) failed because it was inherently dishonest, and management wound up using it as a crutch to hide service failures. Each center was given a quota of stops to bring back, and there was no rational or consistent definition of what even constituted a "remote" delivery. The way to make it work today would be to have a "third-class deferrable" service level, offered at a discount with no time in transit gurantee. These packages could be held for an additional 2 or 3 days until sufficent stop density existed to make them more efficient to deliver. Unlike RDI, this system would be[I] honest[/I]; the shipper would actually be getting what they paid for instead of getting screwed over. We could gain a [I]lot [/I]of volume this way, and if managed correctly via Telematics and PAS/EDD it could make greater stop density possible. [/QUOTE]
