[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1212573, member: 12508"] This is another case of FedEx wanting more work for less pay. Eventually, I can see the day where the Express courier who isn't "busy enough" on the PM gets dispatched to pickup the Ground, OR grabbing both at the regular stop, not necessarily scanning the Ground, but tossing it in the truck, since you're "already there". Think it can't happen? For the last year or so, Express dispatchers have been moving over to Ground after being recruited to do so. This would be a huge issue with the contractors/ISPs because that means revenue lost to them, but the AWB systems are now semi-compatible, and Fred could use the excuse that Ground is overwhelmed with delivery volume, and that "excess" Express personnel could be utilized to do some Ground PUPS. More flexibility, fewer new Ground drivers needed, and more productivity from the Express courier. Perhaps bbsam can fill us in on whether or not Ground contractors have their outbound volume protected from a scenario like the one I've just described. Even if you don't have to scan the packages, handling them saves Fred money and also prevents him from having to pay that revenue to the Ground ISP. Just bringing them to the building saves Fred money. This is where it [I]could [/I]go, and that's why you need to refuse Ground now and draw the line in the sand. Let it rot in the box, or better yet, grab it, don't scan it, and toss it in a dumpster. Eff these bastards. [/QUOTE]
