Not sure if we share the same Division Manager but we sure could share the same avatar ID. Thinking you may be east of my Hub location.
Chances are I'm somewhere west of you.

Then to top it off they've had air drivers shuttling out more air late morning. Those are done in trace.
UPS simply doesn't care about customer service anymore.
but it turns out our ground trailers are the ones that are late.
Nowadays even if we did start that early most of the time I can't access anything other than air. Truck bricked out. Even if I did want to buzz a whole neighborhood before starting airs I wouldn't be able to.We would have a 7:50 start time if it were not for air. FE ground is usually delivering in my neighborhood about the time I am leaving my house. The local regional still starts at 8a too, the same time the started 20 years ago.
When I started, we had a 7:50 start time. We had several drivers that delivered resis for an hour because their businesses were not open.
Why can't you run air and ground after 1030. No difference if it is late 1 minute or 1 hour, late is late. No reason to make my day even longer if air is already late.Yup. And they insist we run straight air until all are delivered. Can't even mix ground after 10:30. Been a complete sheetshow for a week or two. Then to top it off they've had air drivers shuttling out more air late morning. Those are done in trace.
Yeah what happened to the rumor we losing Amazon, it seems we getting more and especially air in the last 3 months.We have 2 shuttles bringing air. When we have late air, we at least have some of our air that we can deliver on time. Our 2nd shuttle has been 20ish minutes late most days. Sometimes we are held, sometimes we head out and have meets.
Next week, we are starting later every day to account for Amazon volume.
Nothing like starting a 10 hour plan until 10:30. That was how I got on the 9/5 list.
I thought the only thing wide spread but my butt cheeks...my center manager hates me.
PT,
I'm not sure if you and I have the same division manager but we were told the same thing, but it turns out our ground trailers are the ones that are late. Our air has been pretty consistent on its arrival to our building. Its hasn't been late since we were told to expect delays and starting us 20 minutes later than normal, and that was two weeks ago now.
Working as directed. I don't ask questions. I'm not paid to think. I agree with you. It's asinine.Why can't you run air and ground after 1030. No difference if it is late 1 minute or 1 hour, late is late. No reason to make my day even longer if air is already late.
If I know air will be late due to late air shuttle, I del out of way air, notify center of late air then del rest of air within reasonable time but will del ground while finishing air
Because I don't take their horse crap attitude and I don't let them walk all over me....kick rocks DennisI can't imagine why.
You can probably imagine his interactions with the "management team". Lol.Because I don't take their horse crap attitude and I don't let them walk all over me....kick rocks Dennis
A friend of mine that works in feeders told me that there are trailers at the closest Amazon hub that don't leave til the exact pull time to our building. So if it's two hours away, and start time is 8:30, they don't leave til 6:30. This way people can order from Amazon til the very last possible minute and still receive their package same day.It's been a consistent circle of unpunctuality starting with bringing back pickup pieces after 8pm.
Usually every package car would hit the air trailer on time and have their trucks unloaded before 8, now some bring pieces by 845.
The hub is forced to start later now pushing the feeder drivers start times.
I remember when I was in preload, we only had to wait for Island City and a Meadowlands trailer.
Now it looks like 1/3 haven't arrived by preloads start time, with Amazon pushing the envelope on late trailers.
I did hear the UPS pilot's rumor as well but find it a little far fetched but plausible.
