Stop counts lately.

[bham brown]

Our stop counts are through the roof right now because of an influx of more Amazon packages than I've ever seen. Just wondering if it's happening everywhere or just around here. It's been crazy. peak season numbers without peak help.

 

[Indecisi0n]

They keep raising our stops per car. It's insane.

 

[Rick Ross]

Haven't you heard, we lost Amazon...

Is the job you signed up for buddy.

Now go back to sorting your truck through break and pissing in bottles

Kinda kills the fantasy knowing you can slip it in there and only have to hold the bottle.

Our SPC's have also gone up over the past few weeks.

130 used to be a good day on my area.

I have averaged 150-160 all week.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

They boosted them a few weeks ago and they start to drop next week in my center.

 

[TearsInRain]

nothing to do with amazon, Region IE is mandating strict adherence to the PDA, so now where there was some wiggle room with SPC there is zero

if you're 30-40 above normal though that's your dispatcher hating you we aren't that heavy lol

The guys are pissed. They are cutting runs and texting senior drivers asking if they want the day off.

Don't have to tell me, I hear it every day.

Thats the plan?

SPC are always high. But this is a little different. We're running every driver we have along with sups running routes as well. Even bringing in guys who bid into other jobs to run routes. Also using PTers as helpers. It's way more than we can handle.

If you're running every driver and sups are on road SPC isn't the issue, it's volume

How is it when you take out routes the ones in have their target stops go up even when they also have more miles?

Could it be that the targets vary based on numbers of routes and not how much work is on each route?

I mean, if you take a route out and boost the stop count on another route obviously miles are going to go up.

I just use DPS to figure out how best to shift that work. The average paid day will be affected and you base it off that. Maybe I can take out a D car and 80% of those stops to A-C, sure it will boost miles, but you're also eliminating the miles from that 4th car. Then find someone who is lighter on the baseline to finish up that last 20%.

Not every circumstance will be the same.
