My manager was a courier for about 30 years when she applied for management last April. When we went for a check ride recently she was with me the entire route until we returned to the building.
Against company policy. Only dispatch can call a customer to nullify a pick upLove it when I get back from vacation and my regulars ask "Why Dont you call us to find out if we have a package rather then driving all the way out here...like that other guy"
They’ve been converting many Ground pickups to those lately. I hate it. I need a driver with the capacity to get to a stop but now when it’s canceled I don’t get paid.You guys need Smart Pickups-----they cancel automatically if there are no packages processed up to an hour before their commit time. Saves driving out to the middle of nowhere for an occasional shipper.
We also had drivers who would call their pickups. I never liked that-----customer is paying to see my pretty face every day.

Not when it gets canceled. So we have to route guys to be nearby everyday within the 1 hour window and then 3 times a week we get no revenue for it. It’s not a huge deal right now but it’s not something I like at all.You don't even get a portion of the money for that stop?
Following company policy keeps you on the good side. The good side gets you the benefit of the doubt when you do make a mistake. The good side gets you the day off you want,when the schedule states there are none. The good side gets you the new truck when they arrive. The good side seems to rearrange your route so you do not get that brand new car dealership that just open up.Grow a pair.
Sounds more like favoritism, which is also against policy.Following company policy keeps you on the good side. The good side gets you the benefit of the doubt when you do make a mistake.

Just do your job to the best of your abilities and don't give a flying fudgsicle what your manager says; but treat them with respect while not caring.What to do when your manager or supervisor keep harassing you because of the extra hours you take the finish deliveries?

If someone threatened to fire me from FedEx;
I'd simply respond
" Don't threaten me with a good time "
Yeah, and the bad side is a result of..constantly arguing with management; constantly challenging dispatch, complaining when operational need comes into play, and just having a negative attitude in times of stress .Following company policy keeps you on the good side.

Ha Ha Ha...I've been on the wrong end of favoritism enough times to know that, you take your lumps (even if your right ), and comply. And if something goes wrong it's on management! .Keep your poise and take the hours. You will benefit from it down the road.If you loathe coming to work daily ,try to make a change.But if you come to work and you are flexible and you're ready to come through in the clutch, your manager will reward you when you need someone to pinch hit for you (and you surely will )but if you can't seem to find a middle ground, it will lead to your eventual demise as a Fedex Express employee.No favoritism at FedEx...ever.
Best decision I ever made, against the advice of coworkers and friends, was become a swing driver (7.5 years).Some people think that you need to kiss ass to stay on the good side of management. And they're too friggin' hard headed to see it any other way..I'm telling you rookies.Pull on your big boy pants, double knot your boots, stay consistent .And for gosh sake stay flexible! !!!
So where will Pickup GPS show location when you enter No Package.......answer is not near that stop...watch it my friendI have a regular pickup that doesn’t have anything probably half the time. Sometimes they call in to dispatch, often not. So now they text me.
