Hey lets take 45 stops of off route 45x and move them to route 45y but take the work from 45y and move it to 45z. Oh shot, route 45z has too many stops lets put them on 45x. Hey look the numbers work.

sorry, can't figure out how to edit so here's the rest:
We all know EDD/dispatch/UPS/Atlanta/or someone else other then our sups. are told to move the work around
Isn't this how a Ponzi works?
Take the investment(work) and give it to the new man but tell everyone they're making out.
UPS is building a house of cards and investors are starting to notice (montley fool). I'm starting to believe that the stock holders, who mgnt seems to be beholden to, will soon figure this out and ask if there are any real gains in making 3 drivers drive over each other to make it seem there is work when there's not. Instead of streamlining the business mngt. seems to be adding redundancy to make things work(yeah i get it, it's a dead horse). But what will this mean for those with a few years, or decade with the company? Will they be able to weather the next economic storm with their voodoo? Will we last another hundred years? that's the question. Because it seems that mngt. just wants to pump up numbers and not streamline productivity.
Company made 5.8 Billion operating this way.
All it does is piss off all of the drivers involved. Then, you have each of those drivers chirping in the dispatchers ear about it.
I gotta be honest, I really don't mind what these DPS's do with shifting work in every which direction. Every week they give a different excuse to the guys who complain about it: "we gotta make stops per car", "we were told we could only run this many routes", "it came down really light today". To me, it is what it is. I'm a split driver, have been one for almost 8 years now and by my own choice. If they put it on my car, I'll deliver it with a smile on my face, but if the company is gonna get rich this way, you better damn well believe I'm gonna get rich off of it, too.
Exactly. I never check my stop count in the AM. The guy next to me checks and he knows not to tell me. I deliver what I have and get paid quite well. I gave up 20 years ago ever thinking I would get home at a certain time.
Same in NNY. One driver last week was out til 10:20pm. Excuse later was dispatcher left after preload because he was ill and center manager had to go to Syracuse, so he couldn't "fix" it. Whatever.
That center manager sounds too nice. Watch out. I might have to figure out a way to get him to work at our building. You can still smell Canada from here. LOL!!I do have to give my center manager credit in that he stricly enforces the "no one over 9.5" rule.
Same here, They try to have everyone off the clock by 9.5. Cracks me up when I am sent to help someone who will be over 9.5, as I am aproaching 9 hours.....and still 20-30 minutes away from the building. Then they end up with 2 drivers over 9.5....while there are other drivers off the clock at 7hrs......I do have to give my center manager credit in that he stricly enforces the "no one over 9.5" rule.
