That's sounds exactly to a tee the last 2 days of this week. Nothing I could do but have lates, only way I could save them would be to speed. Not going to happen. Get back to the station and basically get pulled into the office about having lates. Told them there was nothing I could do, unless I was to speed or falsify the stops on road while driving.
When questioned about lates, just say there was nothing you could do and request a checkride and that they do the route with you in the passenger seat to show you how to do your job better.

I just want to make friends!
Really though, you should catch it when VAN scanning your packages. But everyone has an overlook from time to time. I think the point is to send a message to those who seem to have them way more frequently than others.

Last month it was missing POD scans which I can understand being an issue, frankly I dont know how you miss those.
The only time I'll come back to the building with a couple missed PODs in my pad is when I give a couple stops to someone else and they have the POD

There have been plenty of times where I have had a bulk stop of 50 or 60 pieces that weren't put on a cons tag. It is very easy to miss one package when you're scanning that many pieces.
Well, of course, in a perfect world, yes, you should be able to scan everything that has been loaded into your truck. It's a bit difficult though when you are told to offload and then get back to your truck very late as a result and are pressured to leave the building on time. That's why every courier who is told to offload needs to make note that they were told to offload and were only able to get to their truck very late compared to other couriers who were allowed to load their own trucks, which, in turn, resulted in leaving the building late because they wanted to properly order/scan everything, which, in turn, resulted in not making service.

Actually it's pretty damn near impossible now, with SRA or DRA. You might misplace one, but the PPAD tells you if you've vanned a P1... finding it might be another story. Unless of course you didn't van it(then it won't show up anywhere) CSA's where I am routinely send out missing van reports during the p1 cycle as a courtesy(not sure if this is done elsewhere)

Just telling it like it is
Like you would know anything about van scanning.
Be nice if this was true, however I put this right up there with pigs flying and Amazon delivering big screen TV's by drone. Whatever manager you talked with knows how to play/make you feel good by agreeing with whatever you are saying, without putting himself/herself in a position where you could come back and say you said so.
The only time word filters down to ops manager level is when legal has said given its approval.

Yeah. Not that I need a source. But how did you even hear this?
Just a reminder, even "if" and thats a BIG IF the company were to give two 5% raises it would NOT make up for the take aways that they did in 07 and 08 when they stole the pension program from the mid range hourly employees. That Purple Promise BS and Portable Pension is a serious joke, it's only reason to even exist is so that FedEx can say they they provide a pension...a pension in name alone.
I have seen my take home drop to half of what it used to be, just because now I have to put the max amount allowed into my 401k just to be able to HOPE that it will provide me some sort of retirement income. Income amounts that will never be as high as a traditional pension program. Try living on the West coast on just over $300 a week AND I'm a full time employee thats been with the company for over 15 years!
But just remember, we can't tax the rich, and we have to make sure "our shareholders" are happy. Re make sure Fred and the rest of the talking heads stay swimming in cash!

We are so behind that they can take that 10% and shove it. After 10 years in no where near top and new hires making just as much. 10% really isn't going to change anything

It would be, but divide and conquer is their game.
