[QUOTE="CBUK, post: 342296, member: 10491"] Integration started in September o7 and I was unlucky enough to be one of the test routes for the integration team. Imagine my surprise when I arrived on the first day to find a pallet truck on my van. It wasn't for me. It was a package for me to deliver!!!!! When I started at UPS in 98 we were trying to lose customers that shipped crap freight. We now seem to be welcoming them all back with open arms(or should that be ass cheeks). We are now fully integrated and that has resulted in losing large delivery areas. I am not high enough up the pecking order to reel off stats and facts to anyone but I beleive we were running nearly 60 routes before integration and are now only running 30. We do seem to have an awful lot of spare drivers and I have been told that we are now officially over staffed and our current manager has been told that he cannot replace any drivers that leave. This was backed up for me by a friend who left last year to work for Parcelnet (a rival firm). He was told that he would be welcome back if things didn't work out. He has now been told there are no jobs available. Presumably our Ctr Manager will have targets set by his management. I have in the past been sent out with 100 delivery stops daily but at the moment I am delivering 60-80 and not really struggling. My personal opinion is that the centre has been relooped to increase plan days on paper when the reality is that I could do another 10-15 stops if I wasn't covering such a large area. I am not the only driver that thinks our current loops are verging on the ridiculous. We have had a few time study teams at our centre in the past but I would be embaressed to go out with one at the moment. I dont relish the old struggle when we were obviously undermanned but I bet my old manager is pretty well pissed that he didnt get any help form upper management when we were all crying out for it. What centre are you based at Jetset? Is integration good or bad for you? I think this is whats known as a period of transition. I am an old boy at my centre and the new starters probably dont realise how good they have it. That could have serious repercussions in the future. [/QUOTE]
