FO question

[It will be fine]

We have to actually stop at the address, walk up to the front door, scan the package, scan a delivery notice, fill out and place on front door. We even have to do this for businesses that are known closures for the day.

Why do you even sort known closures to the truck? We don't even take those out.

We are directed to attempt all NDAs on the off chance that there may be someone there waiting for it.

If it FO or PO it "must" be loaded on truck and attempted before the commit time. If this is done it does not get money back when delivered later.. I used to do "attempts" on FO's before leaving the station lot and tag the door as I drove by. Many 8:30 commit times will never be met when many businesses do not open till 9am

That explains the express door tags I've seen on retail stores with an 8:00 am attempt. Now I have an answer when the customer asks why they would try to deliver 2 hours before the store opens.

Do not even worry about SPH. As long as you are working as directed and getting your deliveries done on time there is nothing your manager can do. SPH are your managers made up numbers and will never be the same day to day, especially on a rural route. If he keeps giving you a hard time about it have him give you a check ride and ask him to show you how to do the route correctly. That usually shuts down the conversation real quick.

You won't lose your job for not getting deliveries done on time. No one has ever been fired for lates alone. I've known people who had lates everyday until the expectations/workload for them were lowered. It will just raise a lot of flags for management to monitor you closer.

 

[Purplepackage]

If you dont want them to harass you about making numbers you should become a swing.

26 years in and i cant remember a time i was even spoken to about not making a SPH goal. You want to have your own route, you deal with the bull

 

[59 Dano]

No. Your failure to either deal with the shipper and/or re-label the packages is on you, the manager. How do you know I've never been in management at FedEx. I take great pains to conceal my identity, including intentional red herrings.

Anything you say, liar.

 

[59 Dano]

I used to get FO's for a restaurant chain that didn't open until 11:00AM. It got to a point I would just drive by, look at the parking lot and if there wasn't a car there or any lights on it automatically got a dex 08 and the PO courier got to reattempt it.

Falsification.

 

[MAKAVELI]

Falsification.

First requirement to get into management at FedEx.

If you say so.

Falsification.

If you're a manger, you should know that concept more than well.

You've helped me know the concept of "fool" more than well.

 

[Cactus]

You've helped me know the concept of "fool" more than well.

No need to thank me. After all, you've made a big enough fool of yourself without my help jackass.

 

[MrFedEx]

Anything you say, liar.

How do we know you're a "manager"? If you really are one, you should get a letter for failing to properly handle a known problem account.

If you and everyone else is doing the best they can, then DRA is accomplishing its goal. Brilliant, no?

I HATE DRA. ITS DOESNT WORK FOR OUR STATION
