Not hardly. Just doing it like my station has been told to do it. More hrs than we want some days available here. Just trying to do the right thing. Guess some on here are so mistrusting they believe everyone has a motive for everything they do. You can't go thru life mistrusting everyone. Well, Some of you can. Must suck not trusting and hating everyone with authority.
This company blew it when it comes to trust many years ago. It's not 1985 anymore.
I am a trusting person to a fault, until given a reason NOT to trust. So you're saying that I should trust FedEx when they say that our company is hurting for money, yet the corporate jets keep flying (UPS execs fly commercial). Or the execs are still getting nice bonuses while cutting hours and benefits for hourlies? Or one exec is getting a bonus for the DRA program even though everyone at the station level admits it's a joke? Or FedEx is spending BILLIONS on TNT and telling us we're hurting for money? I could go on and on, but you get the picture (I hope, but doubt).
Big difference between extra time and a service disruption. If disrupted do you still try to deliver to businesses first or do you straight line all freight?
Business first. Then all resi
Nice attempt at a jab. I'm not paid to use common sense. In the real world, I believe my common sense is on par, perhaps slightly above average with the rest of the population.
You must be in a fairly condensed area. With a service disruption I straight lined rather than bypassing rurals on the way to my towns.
That's the difference between you and me.
That is where common sense comes into the equation. If I have 2 deliveries left and only 1 will be on time and they are side by side. 1 is a Directv remote control going to a resi and the other is payroll that I know XYZ Manufacturing gets every week, I am gonna del the payroll and worry about the Directv delivery after 1030. You do realize that many large shippers get a huge discount and wave all refunds for late deliveries don't you. OF COURSE you do, you know everything. Directv might not be able to request a refund for their late delivery on the all so important remote control delivery but the XYZ shipper might be able to request a refund on their late paychecks. The resi person is usually just glad to get the new remote, even if it was delivered at 1040. The employees at XYZ are not as forgiving if their paycheck is late, even by 10 minutes.
I deliver 1 zip code and part of another. Haven't delivered an extended area or multiple city area since Moby was a minnow.
How can I know everything when you seem to think you have that covered?
I never said I knew what every package contained. A Directv remote is a dead giveaway. A light Dell box from Dell is a dead giveaway for a Dell laptop the customer will soon ship back for repair. An Advocare box from Advocare will contain vitamins. A small rectangle box with RLC as the shipper is usually a cell phone. It is not rocket science, it is experience and common sense. Since you do not use common sense on your job, you fail to use a great tool for doing the job properly.
I know for a fact the certain discounts come with a waiver of refunds for late delivery. Common knowledge. Ask a sales rep. I see employees get crazy when their SOS paychecks get delivered at 1455. They know when we are USUALLY there and when we alter our times with their checks, they get nervous.
Yep Decade program. Got to eat steak with Fred and Barksdale at some place near the hub in Memphis. I don't remember the 3 days but it was a long time ago.
Whoa! Your fictional pay cheques for xyz company just went from being 10 minutes late to almost 4 1/2 hours late? Anything to try to prove your point I guess, eh?
I can't imagine one of the world's largest airlines not having corporate jets. In today's world, executive jets are a necessity. I am sure our jets are a great time saver for people that don't need to be sitting at an airport for hours waiting on their next leg. UPS might fly commercial, I have no idea. To me, that is almost irresponsible and not good use of executives time. Besides, flying anywhere from Atlanta is 100 times easier than flying out of Memphis. The last time I flew thru Memphis, their airport was a ghost town and since Northwest left and Delta took over, I heard direct flights were a thing of the past. I am not sure of what all airlines serves that airport now. Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world and you can fly direct to most any city in the country and most likely any major country in the world.
Na, your ability to read and reason just failed you. I just used the XYZ P1 example as why I concentrate on business over resi deliveries when possible. My SOS example was referring to you saying that companies don't care if their paychecks were late. Employees do care and notice when we deliver their checks. I deliver checks a day earlier than the company will give them out and employees still panic if they are not their by their USUAL time. Even if they are delivered before the commit time.
Why would PO be getting delivered at 1455? Your argument makes no sense. In all my time, I have never seen PO get delivered that late.
They were 2 different examples. LOL. Sorry my explanation went right over your head. Never mind.
