Rural Deferment

[Emergency Conditions]

A long time ago in a center far far away, a center manager said
"Every package, every day."

Now the slogan might as well be "you'll get it when you get it, stop complaining." And somehow our competitors are such dumpster fires themselves that we can actually get away with it without them being able to capitalize...

I have customers that get NDA medications. I have customers that run businesses out of their homes. I have customers that pay for pickups that won’t get picked up. Yeah, I can play the game and all, but this company is shooting itself in the foot with this nonsense.

Relax…you care too much. Work as instructed.

WAD is the rule.

 

[catstalking]

it's a * program, the potential density gains don't outweigh the horrible, horrible optics it creates

might as well just pull a day of TNT from the most rural 5-10% of the country as a whole and call it a day, we'd make way more and look way less horrible

 

[DumbTruckDriver]

Working as instructed is exactly what I plan on doing. You care too little.

We've done this before...I don't know why this company has to act like a toddler but sometimes you just have to let them relearn lessons.

I have been around UPS for parts of 4 decades. I promise you this…..every decision UPS has ever came to such as:

1) 15 min pick up window
2) all pick ups back by 8pm
3) run trace 85%
4) only keep helper for 2.99, 3.99 etc
5) take a picture of every pkg
6) Preloader can load 3-5 trucks instead of 2
7) 9am start, 930 start
8) no air drivers
9) no bulk truck
10) cut routes on Monday
11) cut routes on Friday
12) Telematics
13) cameras
14) pull in mirror
15) etc,etc,etc

has resulted in drivers who just relax and roll with it make more $$$$$. Get It out of your head that you used to be done at such and such time, you need to be done by such and such time, just kick back and enjoy the money …..if UPS wants any input from you they will ask.

You cannot argue with this post..nicely done. I only have a couple of more years, hell may not make it that long.

Yep, every decision and instruction they make makes me more money. Fine with me.

It’s about to go live here in a few weeks. I, and every other driver affected, will be filing every day.

My old bid route was bud as a Cut Monday route. Sometimes if we had a Monday holiday, they would cut my route on Tuesday and sometimes Wednesday.

“We’re running the Monday plan today” dispatch would always tell me.

“We’ll todays not Monday and I didn’t bid a cut Tuesday car or a cut Wednesday car.”

They had to pay me each time. To me if you bid a route and they cut it for whatever reason that’s their choice. They could easily build those rural deferred routes. They chose not to.

A song from the 90’s used to say….”lay back, kick it, enjoy the ride“. No reason to get fired up about anything. Yes sir, yes Ma’am.

Yes. In the future, there will be an "Operation center" and all buildings will run out of that via computers. There will be only 2 or 3 managers in each building and you all will have to complain to robots, AI, and AI CEO. Carol will only check emails from robots sending to her.

You aren't too far off.
