Over 70lbs and Irreg Bid Team Routes

[Boxslinger11]

it’s not worth the cost yet, but a strike would be a huge opportunity for them to gut us, even if it was at a financial loss initially for them


it’s not, but it’s close enough for most people

Fake news they won't and cant

I could have used a lift gate to help me with the chick I picked up from the bar

You sure that was a chick

 

[dookie stain]

You sure that was a chick

I had enough jim beam to tell me that it was...the world may never know

 

[Heavy Package]

If we got lift gates ups would raise the size and weight restrictions. We would be delivering sectionals and hot tubs

But 'Sho Enough I gets my extra dolla' an houa' Jack! See who's laughin' now!

 

[Heavy Package]

all our people who actually want to work

I want to strike and take my chances. Watching all of you egg-head fat ss cubicle dwellers try and deliver packages would be a farce. Why don't you use your new DIAD and GPS system while your at it? Best of luck, Sherlock.

 

[Non sequitur]

Yes we have all had the "get of your ass" and try to do what your asking me to do dream. Have a few drinks and kick it back. Peace✌

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Cannot wait to bring strippers and beer to the picket line and support my Teamster Brothers!

 

[Non sequitur]

I think I remember you from 97. Didn't you puke in our burn barrel?

Truth

 

[thisjobaintforeverybody]

amazon would steal all our people who actually want to work and put 6 gorillian contractors and PVDs on road to deliver every piece they could physically fit into their vehicles

10 years ago the union could have striked and MAYBE ups could have recovered

now amazon would absorb so much it would be the beginning of the end

believe it or not, it’s a fact

Even all our people wouldn't be enough.. you do realize they deliver less then 5% of their own volume right??? This is why we need to move away from them and lower our profit percentage from them!

Extra dollar an hour and a straight truck with a lift gate.

I may unretire and bid one of these routes if they happen.

That sounds like UPS Freight?

SCS.

 

[Brown Down]

even in a perfect world what are you going to do, cut their grass for them?
you’re delivering with a smile, that might be good for sales with regular people or smallish business but amazon and our enterprise accounts would drop us like rocks

No but when I dont have "time" to address my customers concerns/questions because of your inflated numbers you tell me how thst is customer service. And please don't say the 1800 number. That is one of the biggest jokes ever. I got completely cussed out last year due to them saying a customer's packer would be delivered by 8am. Funny thing is I start at 845 and it's 35 minutes to my area.

 

[Brownslave688]

That isn't true in the service industry. If materials don't show up on time so you can run your business and give service to your own customers then you will most likely pay for a service that is more reliable cough cough UPS.

We are way more expensive than FedEx yet people still ship with us....hmmm

Customers who use both FedEx and UPS are always complaining that their FedEx drivers don't show up on time or at all for both deliveries and pickups.

Edit: nevermind lol I get you were being sarcastic!

I see fedex ground returns sit for weeks at a time without anyone grabbing them.

At least the 1-800 # gave the correct delivery date

1.How many countries does Amazon deliver in?

2. Amazon could not provide next day air or even their prime 2 day service without UPS, FedEx, and USPS. They would bleed customers because of this.

3. How many planes does Amazon have?

4. How many sorting facilities, warehouses, customer stores, drop boxes?

5. You cant deliver 7000 pounds of merchandise out of a Toyota Prius. Their current model of using Uber type drivers wouldn't work for Machine shops and any industrial business.

You ever been inside one of amazons warehouses??? They are way more advanced than most of ups buildings I have ever seen...

I have one customer where I will playfully pretend to dust off their pile of FedEx Ground returns after picking up our outbound.

 

[Coldworld]

I don't see why they don't bring more surepost back in to supplement additional routes. I'm sure it would make the other packages more efficient to run since the stops would be more dense.

They may not make any money on some of them but those are fast, easy deliveries that could be used to justify running more routes everyday.

Absolutely... people are still amazed that their ups surepost pkg is being delivered by the post office...

I thought you were going to say that you pick those up and take them to the FedEx facility for them...

Depending on the customer I may take them and drop them off at the MBE store.
