New Single System

[bbsam]

It fascinates me that people who have delivered in a given area literally for thousand of hours, delivered the same pet supplies, medication, boxed meals, etc., could be so thrown off by what comes down to routing knowledge.

 

[sadmanhere]

Because it doesn’t sequence the route until after the sort. That’s why they are out of order.

its easier to load if it goes by 20s....we can localize a section of 5 boxes instead of 10 plus

 

[sadmanhere]

They’re in order, it’s just alphabetical or numerical not some poor delivery sequence that won’t be followed anyway.

are you out of your mind? like really stop replaying to my post... you make zero sense ......you can follow any order you want........ i want it sequenced by 20s so i can load the truck easier and locate the boxes easier...not so i can follow them...

you can put groups of 5 boxes away in areas instead of 15 or so with the section id..much quicker and easier to sort through 5 boxes........ we load our own trucks in hd.....

Then friend* ing load it how you want and teach your drivers to to fine sort and not to work off the FedEx manifest.

Yeah,I just got back... still on VRP, but I had to load it a different way.

I don't follow their sequence, but it was easy to preload my cargo... based on the map overview printout in the AM

990, 760, 1000-1200

Then 330-400, followed by 710 to 980

Finally, followed my sequence. We go by 10s in my HD terminal. So 10 -700

120 stops, 180 miles... one Vaseline stop that took 45 minutes round trip. Tempted to DEX 012 it, but I have no idea whose route it goes to.

I hope when we switch to a co-location, they better reduce my miles... and I can finally dump the potential DEX 011s on Saturday

 

[It will be fine]

No one at fedex cares what you want. Accept what is and adapt. You cry like it’s the end of the world when the reality is it’s a minor change. Overlap your service area and get real trucks that Fedex loads for you and this will be a benefit. They’ve only been telling us this was going to happen for the last 5 years or so, it shouldn’t catch you off guard.

Happy? More like they put up with it.

Ask any Express courier how many complaints they hear about Ground in a week.

And then go look at the increasing volume that Ground keeps moving.

Is cactus still posting bad information? Bummer

Uh, That's Mr. Cactus to you.

More volume = more customer complaints.

How long do you think that business model will last?

It’s been growing for 35 years. So there’s that.

35? Don’t think so.

Let’s see...RPS 1993, FXG 2003.

Sorry but your math is incorrect.

RPS was ‘85

 

[Cactus]

RPS was ‘85

So be it.

But that was an entirely different business model ( no grandma’s cookies.)

I'm looking at how much money they bring in and how many packages they move, you're focused on the complaints you heard on your route.

If the service was that bad, why is their such growth?

I already cluster my neighborhoods, so it'll just be a minor adjustment to the ground PAL stickers... instead of route#-sequence#, it's section#-wtf#?

the funny thing is I didn't speak to the ops guy yet on how to section my map yet, just the boundaries.

The sequence# is great for spotting the box in the dark. So we'll have to write HiNs instead like what I saw on ground or UPS boxes???

I brick out my boxtruck, so I guess IlI fine sort on the floor, then play Tetris until I'm at capacity... my manager better know my cubic feet of this vehicle, or DEX 027s will be a common occurrence.

Oh, they are going to convert this to a co location hopefully before the storm called peak season arrives or it's gonna be a circus

More volune doesn’t always equal more quality. Often far from it. So you think Ground is gonna be in clover forever? If a better option were to come along, do you honestly think customers would be loyal to Ground because of exceptional service? Please.

Never said it did.

Doubt it.

Nuh-uh.

Is there any particular reason you're arguing with yourself?

And another point sails over Dano's head!
