Would they of had a problem with you if you would have ran the bad zip in your first car and just came in?

No but the 10 pickups that I had left may have.

Couldn't you finish your route and then run the bad zip and then come in? What am I missing here? Doing it your way....did it save miles?

I was done at 2:30, including that sweep of the pickups, so I ran off the bad zip and was back at the building just before 3:00.

I could have saved the bad zip for at the end of the day but that would have meant taking a 2+ hour lunch.

So you took a full hour and a half lunch and was done by 2:30? Your route must be tight!

I take my lunch in the afternoon , usually between 1545-1630.

I won't give you crap about not taking your lunch when you're supposed to. Did you get a different route?

When I went back to the building? No. I parked mine and grabbed an empty one.

Your bid route.....

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Your bid route.....

Yes, I was on my bid route.

Yes, it was a light day.

Do you still have the same bid route that you had before you were bidding on that 22.3 job?

 

[soberups]

The 85% compliance goal does allow you to manage the route.

No it does not.
Thats like telling a pilot that he has to use the autopilot 85% of the time but its still his fault if the plane crashes.

 

[Billy Ray]

The 85% compliance goal does allow you to manage the route.

It gives you just enough leeway to accomplish what you must , ( time commits, businesses, pickups ), within the framework of a bad plan.

I think Orion runs up to your last air pretty well. I don't like the fact it doesn't include ground most of the time even when you have a light air day. That part makes no sense to me.

Yes. I would not have gone back otherwise.

They are telling us 95% now. I'm thinking at some point in the future we will not be able to make any breaks in Orion, and it will still be our fault for missed, late, etc.. Because we did not "let management know" before we left building.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

...yet they ignore it during Peak...I average 86-88% compliance but would be hard pressed to bump that up to 95%...

 

[ducktape]

Yes but that was because I had a bad zip that I ran off after making a sweep of my pickups. This put me less than a mile from the building so it made sense to go in and swap pkg cars so that the metro could sort my pickup pieces.

I feel like throwing up.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I feel like throwing up.

Try to make it to the bathroom or you will have a mess to clean up.

 

[cosmo1]

I feel like throwing up.

Dave tends to cause that reaction.

 

[Coldworld]

Yes but I needed the double trip as I was dispatched under 8.

You were dispatched under 8 and still made bonus.... You have a very good time allowance on your route it would seem
