This is an interesting thread
I want a list to show new hires,select drivers and others how their job could be in outsourced the future if the company had their way. They already done it with management. Helps with signing up members in our no so great right to work state. I guess (on topic) is a thing anymore?

Everything the company does (capex) is an effort to eliminate employees. Robotic unloaders, PAS, driverless technology, CIR and leasing vehicles to eliminate mechanics are just a few examples.

Sure post is not outsourcing, it’s an alternative service that was created in
effort to lower the cost of last mile deliveries in rural delivers. Basically, lowering the cost to deliver to someone who lives on a side of a mountain in the sticks. This service does not reduce the need for ups employees, but better aligns our resources and talents to focus on our core areas.

Safety is not outsourced

UPS does a lot of outsourcing. Anything technical tends to be outsourced.
Some of IT, mostly app dev, and lots of PM rolls (🥖🤤). Basically, anything needing to be built or requires major overhaul we outsource the work.

Don’t worry he’s friendly

If surepost was meant for last mile deliveries then why is every clothing brand using it to ship. Is that just the deal the company gives them because majority use post office anyways

Sure post is an economy priced service that we provide partial resources to. We’re taking a play straight out of Amazon’s playbook. this service allows other businesses to tap into our sorting capacity. While not overloading the drivers with rural stops. “We sort, you deliver” is how I coin it.
Some of the packages we would have never touched if it wasn’t for sure post. It’s more true that it allows us to generate another revenue stream vs. another way to outsourcing jobs.

Access Point is the biggest disrespect to the customer I can imagine. "We weren't able to deliver your package from Target on the first attempt, so we left it at a convenience store 5 blocks past your nearest Target."

Also, in urban areas, Surepost is a real head scratcher. I drop off 30 pieces to a post office loading dock so that tomorrow they can deliver garments to an apartment that I'm going to today.

You’re thinking too hard. It’s simple. UPS=expensive; USPS=cheap

SurePost=UPS+USPS= cheaper than UPS standalone ground service.

30 pieces? We take hundreds everyday to a suburban Post Office. Closest thing to a rural route are the SUV's sitting in the driveway.
