How Bad Will Peak Be?

[falcon back]

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

Don't worry. I am sure you will hear when the time is right.

What makes you believe that?

No one here was trained on Leo!

“Go figure it out the best you can!”

I was handed a Leo several years ago and was able to figure out how to use it. Why do you need training?

Sounds like the tarps and pallets will be making their appearance within a few weeks

So Fat Freddy still runs the old “over-promise then renege later” business model?

FedEx, UPS and USPS holiday shipping deadlines are out

The latest deadlines come as many retailers are urging early shopping this year amid global supply-chain backups

The Leo’s haven’t been around that long, quit telling lies and go golf!

Ask any of his ex-wives about that.

Easter? Lol

Who mentioned Easter?

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.

Yay! SSRA was a pile. I'm interested but reserved on how this thinks I should run my SDR route.

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 The problem lies with how often they pay to update them, since either could be outdated in a matter of months in some zip codes.

From what I've seen ESRI seems to be pretty darn good at mapping, but it should, considering it is from the same company that does ArcGIS, which is kinda the de-facto standard of most zoning departments.

My station began testing the Leo about 5 years ago. Get your facts correct. I only did my pre/post trip, timecard and very few POD's with mine. No training, just took it and learned by using it. Sorry you can't figure out how to use it.

Is Fedex still a premium provider of service?

Yes.

Do they (FedEx) still differentiate themselves from the competion on a promise of service?

No, as the competition also has a promise of service.

Is peak volume from the providers standpoint a reason to absolve the providers responsibility to provide the promised, service?

Is "peak" volume the new norm and FedEx cannot service normal business as it exists currently and in the recent past?

How has management failed so miserably?

They should have known that a global pandemic (and the applicable responses) would wreak havoc on economic demand, supply chains, logistics, and employment and should have been able to do something so that the company could operate in a "business as normal" manner throughout the whole thing, and not playing whack a mole like everyone else. Because reasons.

Raj is worse than MT3.

What's up with the hate for the non-white executives?

 

[59 Dano]

Raj sounds like a real assbag. Probably never touched a package in his life.

Because if he'd moved a few packages, he'd do whatever the other people who move packages all the time told him to do, right?

There you go ASSuming again.

Read it again, Fred’s.

ergo, the LOL.

Pretty sure we hate Fred more than any of them.

Pretty sure we hate Fred more than any of them.

If you hate your job, your employer and the leadership, why do you stick around?
