Earnings Miss
- Thread starter bacha29
- Start date
They listed shortage of labor and having to pay more to get it as the primary cause of the earnings miss which was pretty significant . As has been the practice in the past job boards loaded with help wanted ads from contractors. Some have posted impressive pay offerings but a closer look and you saw that it was all tied to daily stop numbers few if anybody could reach. As for the rest it's pretty much the same money offered years ago.
The question will be what action if any will terminal management take towards contractors who are unable to secure enough labor to fulfill their contractual responsibilities . Some may end up having to give a guy literally everything the route makes just to get him to take governance over the route.... But as they say...."that's trucking".

Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
Yep because you delivered a lot of stuff to the wrong place

My Senior Manager blames it on lazy employees that don't want to work 14 hours a day. I actually got a write up for leaving early last Saturday. I came in at 8 AM and left at 6:30 PM. Apparently sort didn't go down until 7 PM and the kool-aid drinkers didn't leave until 10.
UPS stock is also sliding

I know for a fact my stations staffing issues and a ton of wasted OT would dissappear if response was eliminated.

Headed for a 52 week low might get attention on response debacle

So the stock price is solely the fault of response?
Indeed. Closed the day at 229. New 52 week low.
