Saturday Ground Class Action Lawsuit?

Agree. Look what has happened to Sears. Gotta stay with the times.

Freight can’t park 20ft box in residential streets

yes they can, how do you think furniture is actually delivered?

Look at those legs

 

[Drink Craft Beer]

How does that work?

Blame the Part-Timers.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

corporate is trying to write checks the centers can’t cash

98% service expectation for peak? yah okay

The hub call about the service expectations was one giant eye roll.

But don’t worry, putting up automated buildings in SLC and SMART will for sure fix all the capacity issues nationwide LOL

yeah on the package side we are looking kinda solid for drivers, but if the preload and hubs can’t staff because of amazon, it’s all for nothing

. Actually the final delivery lately has been package cars, rolled up carpeting, stacks of floor tile, bed frames. Freight handles big shipments to showroom stores.

We can move forward or stay in the past. I got an Amazon delivery on Sunday from their delivery service. How do we remain competitive only operating Monday-Friday?

Uh, Chick-Fil-A isn’t open on Sunday, and seems to do very well.

Are we doing doing end of day nda commits all peak?

 

[Jackofnotrades]

What if you have a home based business and your competition is getting their stuff on Saturdays and you are not for no other reason than you live in the wrong neighborhood.? That extra day now hurting your business. Is UPS is now giving them an unfair advantage?

Think ahead or don't own a company.

Think ahead or don't own a company.

How do you plan for the company servicing select residential while ignoring others due to their proximity to wholesale, some of these areas within the same zip code?

If only we owned a freight company.....

Too bad. We are freight now. UPS's plans to "Stop heavy pickups" is to give us all the freight volume while they play hookie with worker's lives at actual Freight.

Anyone get slammed with eregs monday? I do not think that was a coincidence.

That is complete ignorance. Have you seen what they deliver in freight? Where they deliver? My only hope is you’re being sarcastic.

In small pack we assume a package is over 150 because it has shifting contents. As a driver you’ll ask for help to move a package that you yourself have deemed unsafe. Most times between you and another driver you’re fine.

In freight I saw everything from swing sets with 5 pieces weighing 1000-1200lbs, doors and fencing that are 12-13feet tall and 200-300 lbs going to Home Depot, fluid tanks that are completely full weighing 2000lbs each, to 700-1000lbs crates that moving companies use.

LTL is a completely different world from ours. 90% commercial delivery and when you get a residential delivery it’s a nightmare and you miss the scheduled appointment 3 times because the is ugly and won’t fit in the straight truck. Many deliveries are multiple pallets, and it can be anything.

Ups freight teamsters striking has very little affect on you in small pack.

My center has enough merch laying undelivered/ damaged to have an auction.

@BakerMayfield2018 can throw freight like pencils. He lifts.

 

[RealPerson]

But we are not delivering all retail on Saturdays? Why not? How long before customers start wondering why not?

I was told that Retail can get pickup and Delivery for $9 each Saturday...
I know my wife's day job in retail wants to get deliveries and pickups, but corporate (her store) doesn't. People order stuff online Friday evening after UPS man has left. It sits till Monday afternoon.

I think it’s about time you start delivering trampolines and furniture. I don’t see any Rooms to Go having problems delivering furniture in residential areas.
