Kings of Late Air

[Richard Cranium]

Make smart business decisions.

Meaning do Orion first stop, break for commercial airs then go back to your 2nd Orion stop and get back on trace!

The smart business decision is to make service and not worry about your Orion trace.

Late air at my center has become a daily normal thing now (with Monday usually the exception). I rarely even report them anymore. Just let my sup know it's coming at the PCM and then I'm on my way. The worst part is that I still have to run straight air til I hit commit time then head to start the route at 10:30. But eh, is what it has become.

Why is it mondays - no late air but Tuesday to Friday late air every day. We start work too late and just not enough time to deliver air on time. I'm beginning to believe if you want your air on time fed ex is the only way to go.

Seriously. You don't know why Monday isn't a problem ?


Start last week?

I very rarely have late air. Not always easy, sometimes I have to do air only first, but very few ever late.

Sorry Wally----I don't have Upstate to pick on anymore

This is really scary if we don't fix this the company is going to be done. This is a huge problem

Wonder how the hourlies can get the blame for it. Don't have 4 arms? Can't fly?

Here we have to run straight air till all are delivered. Even after 10:30 we can't mix ground.

Which is how it should be done.

After 10:30, they are late. Once they are late, doesn't matter how late. I go straight to my first stop once my airs are past commit.

Yes and no. I still try to take care of my regular customers and deliver any medicine i have

I hear you, but, screw that. WTF are we leaving at 9:30 for?

I respectfully disagree with this. Just because it's late doesn't mean the customer isn't waiting on it. They paid alot to get it there early. But I'm old and still care a little bit.

I honestly stopped caring in July. I'm middle of the pack, career wise. I'm not fixing the company's lack of care anymore.

I can understand that. Hard to care when there's forced stupidity all day long. Easier to just turn your brain off and follow mighty Orion. I do that when I have a hangover.

Because we have idiot bean counters running this place.
It's a never ending cycle. Put a route or three in. Get the drivers in earlier and get the outbound stuff processed earlier

But no.... can't have that. Keep... cutting
My Trip is cut.

Between the idiot dispatcher, the terrible loader, and all the irreggs down the middle, I gave up. Used to really take pride, but only gonna hurt myself if I do that.

I wish I still cared like you, but 20 years ago start time was 8:50. Now it's 9:40 for a lot of our drivers. If they knowingly set us up for failure then they can answer for the customer complaints

9:40 is absolutely ridiculous. Nothing but a setup for failure. I guess if they want it early, there's always FedEx or the P.O. I give up.

But the customer paid for a service. I'd like to cone as close as possible to providing that service.
