A batch of cookies goes a long way.Home delivery forced to work every Monday till Christmas ground comes in on Saturdays to run psa but only has to run 40 stops then free to go home. Also we used to get help with incompatibles, now no help on Mondays or Saturdays, totally useless.
What on earth makes you think they should help?Home delivery forced to work every Monday till Christmas ground comes in on Saturdays to run psa but only has to run 40 stops then free to go home. Also we used to get help with incompatibles, now no help on Mondays or Saturdays, totally useless.
Compensation. Contractors make more as separate entities. If you buy an overlapping HD or Ground area FedEx just pockets all the savings.Why are Ground and HD even separate? Most terminals are mixed, right? Why not just run routes in tighter areas? Is there some benefit to dispatching an HD driver and a Ground driver to the same area?
It will be fine is right about this. X is ruthless about believing they should be the ones benefitting from such efficiencies.Feuding/dysfunctional contractors not willing to work together?
Correct. But when a couple contractorsmall here considered doing the same here, the resulting effect (as far as the numbers go) was that X was the only clear winner.Those efficiencies have given my ground routes massive bonuses this peak.
Yeah, mines a different situation from the rest of our building. Pretty awesome so far.Correct. But when a couple contractorsmall here considered doing the same here, the resulting effect (as far as the numbers go) was that X was the only clear winner.
That would be called EFFICIENCY and X doesn't believe in that!Why are Ground and HD even separate? Most terminals are mixed, right? Why not just run routes in tighter areas? Is there some benefit to dispatching an HD driver and a Ground driver to the same area?
We were loaded Saturday morning, this morning and tomorrow morning (monday)HD doesn't have to run Monday. Ground doesn't have to run Saturday. Monday's are extra heavy because they jump Tuesday's service (which doesn't have to be delivered on Monday).
Those extra days and the extra volume is optional.

Does Hd ever help Ground on deliveries and pick ups, NOPE so what makes you think Ground should help HDHome delivery forced to work every Monday till Christmas ground comes in on Saturdays to run psa but only has to run 40 stops then free to go home.

Does Hd ever help Ground on deliveries and pick ups, NOPE so what makes you think Ground should help HD
Yep. 10-30 a day depending on route. Of course everyone wants 25 pickups between 4-5pm spread out. Then your screwed with kinkos with a closing window at 6 instead of 5 so all drivers detestGround does pick ups?

It's a bit convoluted. The way they pay ISPs has a certain amount of money guaranteed called Annual service charge. Let's say the HD guy gets 100k for those 4 routes and the Ground gets the same. If Ground buys the HD FedEx says "we're already paying you 100k in annual so we don't need to pay anymore for the additional trucks since it's in the same area." So the 100k they were paying the HD guy goes right in their pocket.Why is this? You can't save money yourself by just running mixed routes that can get more done quicker? If you had 4 HD routes and 4 ground routes and you just split the freight in a way that made sense you couldn't make it so you don't have to run 8 routes everyday?
I don't know anything about this, I'm just asking out of curiosity because it never made sense to me to see two guys with the green ex on their truck doing the same area.

Stops take time, you can't just jam all the HD stops on the ground routes, you might be able to only send 7 routes out instead of 8 but they cost money and you end up working 6 days for less money.
