I hope amazon crushes us with volume when fed-ex/amazon contract ends this month. I want to see all the supervisors in panic mode and hundreds of late air everyday....don’t forget UPS brought this upon THEMSELVES!!
I've been running peak volume for a month now. We just got a cover guy(s) running one of the routes in my loop as the normie is taking four weeks of vacation. They keep ODSing me to go help him. "I can't"
I got two misloads today. They tell me I have to make sure they are delivered. "I can't"
I have zero time to do anything at all. I'm late to all my pickups, one of them has stopped shipping all nda through us because we are no longer reliable, and if anything at all happens, such as a few on demand pickups, I'm totally fked. I have no leeway anymore.
Every single day we leave late and every single day we all get a message "run straight air".
Mngmt has started holding little seminars in the morning, complete with a stop watch, to "train" us to go faster.
Apparently it should only take us 9 seconds to stop, open the door, grab our one small 1 pound box that just happens to be at the very front of our 1000 shelf, set it down on the floor, and exit the package car, AND pick the box back up.
Mngmt is going to get back to me about searching for a 80 pound irreg in the mess that preload leaves me and load it on my dolly.
I mean it takes me more than 9 seconds just to get my dolly out. UPS is bonkers
