Sorta using the previous example.....
Let's say a pkg is found in the building. The delivery is 10 miles from the center. A driver on TAW drives the pkg 10 miles to the delivery point and it takes him 20 minutes. The driver who will actually deliver it is also 10 miles away. He breaks off to meet the TAW driver at the delivery point. The TAW waits at the delivery point for 20 minutes until the regular driver shows up. Then he drives the 10 miles (20 minutes) back to the center.
Now.....
You paid the TAW driver 1hr pay to get the pkg out there. Total cost: 1 hr. pay, 20 miles on vehicle.
You also pay the regular driver 1/2 hr (assuming it took him that long to drive the 20 total miles and deliver the pkg) and add 20 miles to his day. Not to mention that it will ultimately be 1/2 hr. at time and a half and may also cause him to break off later in the day for a pickup that could have been made on trace normally (thus, more overtime).
But, it did keep the TAW driver off of the reports. So....what was the cost to the company in real dollars as opposed to letting the TAW driver actually deliver the pkg?
It doesn't take a genius to figure out which would save the company money. And, if this was an isolated incident, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. But this goes on in centers all across the country every day. Sometimes more than once in the same center.
So .....you tell me what the total cost is just to keep the numbers in line.
