Future of PVD

[oldngray]

Nah. Could maybe have all packages under 10 pounds PAL out as routes “PVD1, PVD2” etc during preload and separate the piles by Prius.

What if his car is in the shop and he has to borrow a Scion?

Does a pvd have a ups decal to put on their car?

No. They are supposed to hang a poster of Taylor swift in the back window though.

Perhaps all of the forced overtime we've been having to deal with the past year or so is UPS's plan so that we will welcome the thought of the PVD overtime relief and vote yes for it in the contract?

Christ I hope most drivers aren't that dumb.

it will depend on what makes sense locally, maybe they would maybe they wouldn't

if the choice is to put on an extra FSP with 4 hours of work, paid 8, or to overload some other FSP with it in a double trip, OR to call up some PVD who happens to have a van and is working straight-time with no guarantee?

easiest choice in the world, and i'll bet every dispatcher has to make that choice at least once a week

Yeah right buddy.
Then you will micromanage PVD hours/stops.
Only 1.9 hrs allowed per PVD
Oh goody another metric.

PVD gets some more via add-cut!

 

[Faceplanted]

Hopefully ups utilizes the pvd to full potential.... implement 2 tier wages and buy me out!!! I'll run with a decent severance package/buy out right out of the door asap

 

[FrigidFTSup]

lol they wouldn't be working the hours you guys work

if we don't need to plan to paid day guarantees, we'll just chuck as many as we want on road every day, they might end up having 3-5 hour days from what i've heard

Umm. They get a guarantee.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

Where is the pvd dispatched out of? And how do the pkgs get there?

Their packages will be shuttled to a satellite location and left in a storage locker or perhaps a supervisor's garage

What do you care? You're not a PVD

He's not asking about peak season. It was a hypothetical for if they implement this year round.

Year round? Have air drivers run the shuttles after they're done running EAM/NDA.

Seems like a waste to pay people to load a shuttle then shuttle stuff to a location and then take time to unload it into a spot and then load another car and deliver it. I think that's only for peak because stops are extremely dense. I think it would be easier to have preloaders stack out some stops and the PVD can pull in and pick then up and go deliver. Cuts out the middle man in a way.

Supervisor's garage and POD thing kind of backfired around here.
Local ordinances controlling business etc.

Also the IRS and the DOT might receive an anonymous phone call
Any haz Mats in that garage?...
