Q1 Cost Initiative - No Surepost, no Sat Ground, no Guarantees

[DumbTruckDriver]

Doubt it. They handled most of Amazon during peak.

Most of the POs around here were rolling volume this peak. Overwhelmed. The lardass rural carriers actually had to do work. No way they could handle all the Surepost.

Surepost does not have the same volume of all of Amazon.

Surepost does not have the same volume of all of Amazon.

I realize that. The POs around here started getting direct drops from Amazon last year, including the rural ones.

Surepost is not going to break them if they took it all.

Starting tomorrow:

• no surepost delivered
• no sat ground, air only
• no PT sups working on Sat, all are laid off, no exceptions, no personal days
• all drivers working pay-actual on Sat, no exceptions, grievances ignored
• probably no ground pickups, that's still under discussion

All of that was on the table here at one point but was shelved and replaced with no fueling until Monday and closing the customer until Monday.

Except it was a nationwide thing

Just like returning rentals and laying off temps during peak? Just like no fueling New Years eve?

Yeah we didn't do that here.

West Coast don't go by your rules. We make money.

 

[Brownslave688]

As long as it’s on Q2 books who cares

You can’t make this stuff up

I know many of us say “nothing they do surprises me” because we see the stupidity every day.

But this is just absurd.

This is beyond absurd, yet somehow I still am not surprised. This company is a joke.

you misunderstand, the centers were instructed under no circumstances were they to deliver to the PO

they were loading it into retain cars/trailers, locking it up, keys go in the managers desk

Delivering on route or not delivering at all....curious if delivering on route would qualify as revenue as opposed to delivering to PO and that being classified as an expense.

socal =/= the entire west coast, fyi

your district has things going for it that maybe only 1-2 others do, but probably with more origin vol which gives you consideration

hold and redirect (“delv”, “on route”, “co-delivery”, etc) is the only surepost we make money on, and there is no way to stop only that stuff without turning off surepost in the system entirely

So what I'm trying to say is, The West makes Money.

Glad you see it my way.

 

[TearsInRain]

okay you’re still not getting it

heavy ground vol =/= heavy profit

you’re not the origin for heavy air product, or particularly efficient at making cost, so as a “money maker” not really lol

So let me ask you something. When my building does everything this week you said they won't. Who's right?

You stay out of this southern region!

I’m out west in the Bay Area and we were just informed that most feeder runs are being over to the valley(central CA.). Evidently we have huge amounts of inbound volume but our outbound is almost nonexistent do to the high cost of operating businesses here.

It would be interesting to see how that statistic works either in our favor or against it.

What is this a D* measuring contest?

You guys don’t print money to the level you think you do. The real money maker is Ohio Valley as much as it pains me to say

Just having fun with you guys. I honestly couldn't care less if they do all that stuff this weekend. I just know you IE boys get so worked up about it.
