[QUOTE="MassWineGuy, post: 2742458, member: 44554"] For the last two weeks I've been leaving the building with about 23 stops. I'm pm part time w/Express and mostly do pickups. I was usually averaging about 30 or so. Mine is a busy route and I usually get on-calls on the road. These plus sweeps I request for drop boxes bring my stops back up. Turns out there's a new policy being rolled out nationally where day shift drivers will pick up on-calls that are ready early in the day. Eventually, pt hours may shift, be reduced and routes consolidated "to improve efficiency," as my manager explained it. Most full time drivers at my station are hardly reaching 40 hours/week, and often less. He told me that the company has to assure that it can pay pensions and/or other retirement benefits in 20 or 30 years. It earns $0.09 on each dollar spent, according to him. That's $90,000 on each million spent. Apparently enough for Fred S to get a $2 million raise last year. FedEx needs part timers so it makes no sense thinking this policy is intended to make them quit. If that is the goal, it's a mystery as to why. Have other pt drivers seen recent changes at their stations? [/QUOTE]
