Omg two employees got a day off that they hate working.
You being straight?
And then they go with another shipper.
Everybody acts like Amazon is our only customer and it blows my mind.
We make very minimal profit off them. It would almost be worth it to dump them.
I think I was motley fool said Amazon is less that 4% of our total volume. Not sure how accurate that is.
That's not the point I was trying to get across, we're doing Saturday's for Amazon, if they took the business away why are we bothering with ground delivery anymore? It's a waste.
I don't think it's worth dropping them as long as we're making money
We lost 10% of our volume, and I lost 70% of my pay. I've maybe scraped up 30 hours in the last two weeks. Went from 38 trips to 32-33. I know we hit a lull in September/October but I was working everyday last year at this time.
Numbers are off, but the bigger issue with that is not total volume, it's how little profit we make on them.
No we are not doing Saturdays for Amazon. Get that through your head. Is there only Amazon on the cars on Saturday? No.
It sucks to be at the bottom. I know that's not what you want to hear, but the market wants delivery 6 days a week. And we have to provide it to remain competitive.
How much do we lose from Amazon overloading our system and getting late trailers from them.?
Problem is not Amazon, it's the company overpromising. What they do in the days leading up to Christmas setting maximum volume numbers for each shipper is exactly what they should be doing throughout the year.
It's a never ending cycle. We get out late, we get back late.
