[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 949764, member: 22880"] No we haven't.... please tell us all about it....:rolleyes: I'm assuming you are a Ground driver. If so, look for caster decking to be installed, or for a dedicated semi trailer dock position to be set aside for Express bulk loaded trailers. A Ground terminal that would potentially handle Express volume would have to be set up to be able to scan individual packages as they are unloaded from a bulk trailer or aircraft cargo containers. There would also potentially need to be an area where bags of Express documents could be broken down, scanned and sorted out to the correct Ground routes for delivery. There would need to be some new hires in the terminal (along with contractors expanding their capability), so there would have to be job postings come up fairly quickly if this is the case. If July is the target date, then job postings for the positions which would be necessary to handle this extra volume (particular the doc sort) would have to go up no later than the end of April - to get an applicant pool, have them screened and interviewed, then trained. I haven't been able to get any independent confirmation on this expected 28% increase in Ground volume come date certain in July coming from Express - but there simply is no way to explain how Ground can be picking up volume of approximately 900,000 pieces a day to move any other way. Again, I haven't heard any independent confirmation that this is beyond speculation (the July date, NOT the business plan). If Express has decided to pull the trigger, they've managed to keep it under wraps pretty damn good - I would've expected to hear something from my sources if July was a shiftover date. [/QUOTE]
