Shareholders Letter to Carol Tome

[Thebrownblob]

If we’re being honest, the following is true:

UPS needs pilots & planes, CDL drivers & feeders… but UPS DOES NOT need full-time package car drivers.

If it wasn’t for the union, last mile delivery at UPS would probably have already been restructured to resemble Amazon Flex, or DoorDash, or take your pick... The Gig economy.

Sure buddy, I would love to see gig workers in a Toyota Prius or Honda Civic pick up the 1200 packages at 40 pick up accounts daily that I pick up in a blown out P1200. Not much work for the gig workers to do if they don’t pick up the packages first. Like several posters on here you do not understand Amazon does not do the same business to business pick up and delivery that we do they only deliver things that come through their own website.

Amazon only delivers small residential stops here. We deliver all their rurals, apartments, and large packages .

P.S.
Personally, I would love to see UPS eliminate the big brown trucks, and the big brown drivers (not feeders), and create hundreds of thousands of good paying part-time jobs for individuals across this country operating independently to synchronize the world of commerce... And also offer fat severance checks for existing RPCD's. No severance check, no deal!

And their returns, either by call tags or pick ups at the Amazon Fresh stores.

UPS needs to sweeten the deal. Offer each RPCD $100K and a contract as "independent delivery business". The contract must be that these "small businesses" will get the preferred routes until they don't want anymore. The rest goes to Gig driver.

OK. Throw in another $150K for exclusivity with UPS for 10 years. You can't deliver for FedEx or Amazon Flex during that time.

No forced overtime and you got a deal

Wow, you and I can come up with agreement like that. We just need to get rid of Carol, SOB, and the guy that always demands a turkey!

Lol, easy route, job at 100k a year, second marriage, more kids, college, weddings, etc. Plenty of reasons to stay and work longer and it actually helps build the pension fund by delayed withdrawal. Same reason social security rewards delayed benefits with a greater monthly benefit.

You do realize you die? The reason they make you feel like you should stay longer is to not pay your pension. Come on dude it’s like insurance, they always win with people with that mindset. Earlier you take the pension the more you’ll make on it

It’s funny that some believe that “their” route is indicative of UPS worldwide. Definitely not getting the big picture lol

It's funny that some believe PVDs can deliver more than a fraction of what a RPCD can

Replace “more”with most “profitable”.

 

[anonymous23456]

What is the secret sauce for success at UPS, FedEx, or DHL? It is how to earn more per package delivery. Simple idea but not easy to execute.

Exactly. Not all of those 1200 packages are profitable. But everyone thinks UPS is in business because of their route. Lol.

I assure you UPS is making a profit on nearly every package delivered

 

[UPSER1987]

I assure you they are not. If you actually believe that, you really dont know. Many packages are picked up and delivered at a loss. Cost of doing business.

Maybe extreme rural but definitely not business to business or residential.

I'm sorry but it is very complicated about this. There is a department that gathers all data and crunch numbers. You and I don't have a seat at the table to see the info.
