Goodbye HD dog!

[STFXG]

You don't have to order new uniforms or re-brand trucks; the Home Delivery signage is still OK to use. Just that going forward, no more HD branded items will be available for ordering.

Everyone is ordering now. With the next contract they are getting rid of the uniform ordering. We won't be deducted for them and we won't order yearly. Just pay and order ourselves when we need them (the way ISP does it).

In other words, if you think the uniforms are bad now just wait a year. Cheap contractors will have their guys in faded out rags.

We also won't have to get our vans washed at the terminal. We won't be deducted for that either and we will be required to wash them ourselves. No more weekly wash.

Sucks, but a billion bones can't come from just express.

How do they get away with leaving the bulkhead door open all the time?

Sometimes they physically don't close. Plus, who's going to enforce it? The contractor? They probably taught them that bad habit to begin with.

Like leaving the truck running to save the starter?

We used to pay for a company to come in and do a weekly truck wash for free but people complained too much about it(!), so we stopped doing it. Now they have to wash their own trucks. Some of them seem to think that "washing" just means rinsing the truck off and ignoring the undercarriage.

actually, washing it means whatever they want it to mean.

I suppose it is just another corner to cut one's overhead but when the truck is now two-tone and rusted all to hell because the it was merely hosed down every other week, the contractor has no one but themselves to blame.

trucks (unless aluminum) rust. All of them. Same models, same rust areas. Personally I'd junk it and buy new and consider it a win.

We were paying fedex around $15 per truck every week for a pretty poor job that they contracted out. I can do a better job for $2 in quarters.

This will only confuse customers even more than they already are.

Why wash the undercarriage? So all that motor oil and grease can go down your storm drains?

Here, in CA, fleet washers are required to recover the water. They do it at our sta.

Looks like we are phasing out the HD branding. No more uniforms with the HD logo and no more trucks will get the HD logos. They will all be branded Ground.

Will be sad not seeing them in office buildings and taking up loading dock space

Take pics and be sure that the asset ID (truck number) is visible in at least one of them. Send them to your area's FedEx security rep along with the date, time, and address. He'll pay a surprise visit.

One of the ground employees here drives around with all four doors open, including the rear cargo door. First time I saw it, I figured his cargo area was empty. The next time I saw it, I was behind him driving and could see most of his shelves were full of freight. But, he's an employee of a Ground contractor, so not sure it's against the contractors agreement.

What does this all mean? I think I took a wrong turn on Brown Cafe. Now do I back up or find a place to turn around?

It's their butt on the line if they lose any freight.

Not quite that simple.

Why should he do that? What's in it for him?
