Saturday grounds delivery

NorCal has a differential in their supplement. There should be common themes we fight for across supplements.

I agree.
The notion of "autonomy" defines us.....and limits us.

Why have a national contract, if it isn't the standard?

Somehow we have allowed it to be just a starting point, an inherent flaw.

It will not open up drivers slots or create work cuz 90% of the Saturday work is actually Monday's work which lets them caught 25% of the routes on Monday and you will see

Jobs will be created as a result of this new service offering.

First Saturday yesterday. 160 stops. 90 miles. Not too bad just hard to get in a rhythm because everything is so spread out and there is stuff in between. Left building at 830 punched out at 615

Who is enforcing surepost? It's a joke.

I honestly think people and online will offer UPS more now that we will deliver on Saturday without the huge up charge. Many online sites default to USPS when ordering on a Thursday or so, if you want it before Monday...
