How Bad Will Peak Be?

[Working4the1%]

How about fully vaxxed that spread?

I don't sweat it.
By statistics, by numbers, I don't die should I get it.
By statistics, no age group dies at high rates including those with comorbidities.

In the same mannner you deliver

I hope you are escorted out, sheet covered from your fully vaxxed.
You have no regard for other's, I have the same for you.

Everyperson under 60 thinks they will be Ok …many have been wrong

“The world on time.*”




*Whenever we decide what time that is.

Even if time itself stood still Fat Freddy still couldn't get his junk delivered on time.

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

That's interesting. Now that DeJohn has cut delivery times for first class mail from 3 days to 5 days which in reality means 7 this might give Fat Freddy some cover when it comes to the speed by which he gets his junk where it needs to go.

Comparing a UPS route to a FedEx route is apples and oranges. In general yes UPS routes do more stops but in a much more condensed area. I would say we run more on time commits than UPS in a larger area and is a different animal than a UPS route. Although that's about to change quite a bit soon.

Tell me more.

Tell me more.

Cutting commitment times and with the new eastar system most routes will be doing more stops.

DRA maps were last updated in 2013.

I'm sure a check would have fixed that.

ESTAR is much more recent and updated. DRA was constrained with 1030 commits, but the ESTAR algorithm can in incorporate all commit times as well as customer hours (Wal-Mart, Men's Warehouse, etc) and route within that window to make service. FO, pups, extended areas can all be done. Military bases and some universities might have to be excluded.

Last time I checked computer code can be updated as you go, so there's no reason why DRA was "constrained" to 1030, which isn't true anyway. Our station ran DRA on SDR with 1200 commits. I think the words you were looking for "it was constrained to one P1 cycle time"

It is critical to run in order for 3 reasons. 1 - validate the plan and make improvements (generally those routes with failures tend to deviate much more from the ESTAR output. It isn't perfect and nothing can replace the knowledge of great couriers, but it does work to route everything and reduces miles and usually the number of routes.

So, it doesn't learn by itself and requires your engineer to mess with it? We're boned then.

My legit questions:
Is it a descendant of SSRA?
What mapping data does it pull from?

But of course. Fred’s never satisfied.

At this point Fred is just a figurehead collecting his checks. This is all Little dicky and Raj.

Obviously little Dicky wouldn’t be in such a position if it weren’t for his dad. Raj on the other hand, I’m not familiar with. He must have come on the scene after I retired (2014.) Is he worse than MT3?

I think back then Fred still had the reins of the company. I think Raj and Little dicky don't have a clue of what they're doing literally turning the company upside down.

 

[DeliveryException]

An hour added to P1 so is that 1130 business and 1300 residential? I just see that as a way to get more P1 per route. And probably no change to how many P2. I guess that just means my 5x8 that's now a 5x9.5-10.5 will be closer 5x11.5. Then peak..yay

But they'll have all those RESPONSE bodies to help shoulder the load, meaning shorter routes with increased productivity.

Sigh!! If only they had recognized that this is the most productive route design, before separating the opcos. Their reputation, and ability to deliver on their promises, would have remained intact.

Instead, they believed that UPS and its ability to prosper even with the Teamsters Union, was the road to damnation. Myopic.

Raj is worse than MT3.
If you’ve ever seen him get interviewed on CNBC or the like you’ll want to throw a brick through the screen.
I’ll try to find the link from 2020 when the host kept asking him about what steps FedEx was taking to protect its employees during the early days of the pandemic and he refused to acknowledge it was basically nothing.
He kept changing the subject.

Raj sounds like a real assbag. Probably never touched a package in his life. Between him and little Dick the bottom’s gonna fall out a lot sooner than later.

The ships bottom has a huge hole.. Its a matter of time before she hits ocean depths. Hoping this is my last peak

Resi p1 at 1300 doesn’t work. I go to lunch at 1200

I should’ve been more precise to say DRA couldn’t support multiple commit times. The time, resources, and cost to change it were too much.

It learns what we input. It will adjust based on courier notes like early close days or long lunch etc. I expect the next solution to be third-party produced or an enterprise solution that works across all opcos.

It is not a descendant of SSRA. It’s a new algorithm. If I recall correctly it’s Esri mapping and updated either monthly or quarterly, but I might not remember that correctly.

 

[MassWineGuy]

Eastar? Not one word about it at my station. I don’t really understand how it would work.

The current Leo map is ESRI driven so that might be correct. The old DRA and ROADS maps were Navteq. The problem lies with how often they pay to update them, since either could be outdated in a matter of months in some zip codes.
