Hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhaaaaa!!!!!!!!

 

[SaladTosser]

At least the package guys won’t have to worry about pick ups. Feeder will pick it up

 

[BuriedInCardboard]

All I see are money signs.

Anyone have extra lube to pass around? I feel like I've dried up a bit here.

Next year, Walmart, Costco, Kohl's, Best Buy, and Macy's join in on the same weekend. Yay!!

These companies make no consideration about the debacle this creates for shipping companies. You'd get more sales if you chose a different weekend.

What if the consumers spent all the gift money on the first retailer sales event ?

 

[Brownslave688]

Seems our entire peak season plan revolves around PVD and nothing else. This is going to be very bad.

Credit cards? There’s always more money to be found.

We had a larger shipper that shipped out tires. Got to the point they sent 4 trucks there every day. Someone said just sent a feeder

center manager: I’ll send every damn package car in town there before I send a feeder.

We have the same thing. They'll send 6 package cars to stop there on their way in and take what will fit. I have received two different answers from Center Managers as to why.

One center manager said that it is too expensive to send a trailer to pick them up. If that's the case, fine, save money. Another center manager said that if feeders picks them up, the package center will not get the credit for the pieces. OK? So waste a lot of money just to make your center look good?

I don't know which reason is correct, but it sound pretty stupid either way.

Yep. All of our feeders are based out of somewhere else and that’s the reason I’d heard also.

The center gets credit for the pieces if package cars pick them up. They don't if a feeder does it. All a numbers game and the centers profit picture. Every center is like a company within the company and has its own profit numbers.

 

[SaladTosser]

Well that’s funny. They wouldn’t hesitate to send a feeder to the target on my old route. I would only have to pick up the air.

Feeder is picking up all the Targets around here.

Because if they send a feeder your center doesn't get the credit for the revenue

Target “prime day” may do more damage to our system than amazon Prime day.
