How Bad Will Peak Be?

[Guitarman01]

And Response is not going to be suspended because that would re-route three million pieces a day back to Memphis.

This.
Did you hear this from somewhere or are these your thoughts?
Anyone else hear anything yet on how response is going to be handled for peak?
I ask because initially my manager said there was no way we were going to run response during peak,
but today he brought it up again and kind of changed his tune abit like hes not sure, it depends on upper management and he hasnt heard anything yet.

Haven't heard what they'll do with response but 4Z is coming back to us and commit times will be adjusted. Lol

What’s the word on 1 November Express is doing away with 10:30 commits, changing all P1 to noon?

It's almost at the point where it isn't gonna matter. Most packages are gonna be late anyway.

Not all but most PO shipments with exceptions will have some additional time. Resi PO was already changed to 1200 a while ago along with SO business. No specifics given but it seems like Raj and little Dickey have thrown in the towel.

We were told money back guarantee gone on everything and 90 minutes additional time for FO shipments.
Everything else is out the window .

*Whenever we decide what time that is.

Sounds plausible. We just weren't given any specifics.

 

[Fred's Myth]

What say you @59 Dano ?

Any truth to the rumors?

If yes, is this any way to run a company?

 

[Working4the1%]

Let Fat Freddy lose his precious RLA exemption, it’s his biggest fear because then the union comes a callin.’

Freddy is out of the picture now. Amazon seems to be able to keep unions out.

Hmm. I thought I’d addressed this earlier. All the managers and senior managers in my district attended a meeting/cruise type of thing a few months back. They were told three million. Unless it’s a lie, I’m going with it.

Of course, a lie isn’t out of the question.

Last I heard about it at my station is that we plan on rolling Response freight each afternoon. It will go on road the following morning.

I don’t know what other stations are doing, but we are simply too short handed to run two waves.

Don't stress, whatever you do.

What makes you say Fat Freddy is out of the picture?

Thanks, Falc.

So the morning shift will have that plus their own to deliver? Good luck with that.

Yes. We do it most days already. 150 stops during peak is the norm, it won’t kill us. I’d much rather have all my stops for the day when I leave the station vs. getting more crap at 1600 when I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[MassWineGuy]

I couldn’t ever make that many in a day unless they were all very close together.

I have some tight areas but generally drive about 120 miles a day.
