[QUOTE="FrigidFTSup, post: 3807825, member: 58894"] Let’s use the hub as an example. We are planned to build two specific loads Monday-Wednesday that we don’t build Thursday and Friday. They’re usually 75% full, but never really outrageously heavy. But if they don’t run those two loads they can cut a pickoff and two loaders. They’re making their production look better by running 3 less people, but they screw a bunch of stuff up down the line. So now we have to put up more trailers to another hub, which is already over capacity, which then adds more handles to each package (sorting the packages twice), add another feeder run because the guys originally scheduled to pull the loads have to do their run because of inbound work, and we have egress issues because they’re blowing out trailers without the staffing to help. It appears smart on paper, right? The work is leaving the building, you’re utilizing less resources to do the same job on paper, but in reality you’re doing the opposite. I’d much rather pay a PTer to load those two trailers and have them pull on schedule than build overloads and us need to put another top rate feeder driver up to clean up the mess. Trust me, I talk to the union employees more to get the whole scoop because the operators are filled with excuses. [/QUOTE]
