Stay classy MFE. You constantly prove you're incapable of making any point without a personal attack, it's pathetic.Go stick a Kielbasa where it doesn't belong, loser.

Our West Coast station did well. Some worked on Friday but freight was minimal. We were even lucky enough to send drivers home early Thursday. Because of DRA, some of us actually look forward to peak. 10 years ago, my truck would have been filled to the gills. All four shelves and the floor 5 feet high with freight. This year, I had days when I only used two shelves and placed large boxes under those shelves leaving my truck resembling a Saturday route. Peak is no longer a thing to worry about because of DRA, with my route.

Classy? Like you? This guy is a major Richard, so there's no point in being nice.
We were as well, but there were a lot of perishables that had gone bad, and man did the those cans stink! We were told to take them out and have them refused, I told the Saturday manager I was leaving them behind. So after I did so, quite a few followed suit. A lot of couriers took that stuff on road, can only imagine the customers reaction.
There is also no point in stooping to his level.
They had 11 people scheduled to work yesterday, with that amount of people and how our saturday routes are set up we just couldn't get it done
Mr. Fedex: thank you for the plane info. I'm noairline expert but I do know that the A300's and 310s are still being used on passenger routes to this day. I wonder if Smith's stated resolve to reduce the number of air crew personel may be his way to get back at them because he finally had to sign a union contract with the APA.
On the perishables. Isn't it heartwarming, ethical, and honest to knowingly deliver perishables that have gone bad? This crap needs to go in the dumpster. But no, we have to take it out. That way, the customer gets to call the shipper call center and wait, along with thousands of others trying to get their money back, which is probably an exercise in futility. Plus, it's a Christmas present, meant to be enjoyed 2 days ago. Mmmm...a rotten styrofoam box full of Omaha Steaks premium filet mignon that smells like a hotel dumpster. Merry Christmas from FedEx!!
Personally, I'm thinking a lot more got missed than they are revealing. Look at some of the other posts on this thread, which indicate misinformation from the hub about actual late inbound.
That stuff that rotted is the company's fault 100%. Let MT3 and upper management try to deliver that crap.We were as well, but there were a lot of perishables that had gone bad, and man did the those cans stink!

Typical X. They'll sign up anything. Saw once with my own 2 eyes Ground hauling ice cream.
Spoke to a ramp agent who said Amazon was supposedly 'restricted' to two bulk trailers a night, but would send six or seven instead. The unscheduled trailers were left sitting in the parking lot until they could work them in, days in some cases. So there is something to the claim of unexpected volume.
Fed Ex made a mistake and parked too many planes in the desert . They never thought Amazon volume would be so high. Go figure
And Memphis will continue to kiss their butt as if nothing ever happened. So guess what will take place next year? The same ol' crap.Similar situation here. There's a big shipper that hit us with one extra trailer load just about every day that was arriving about an hour too late for the freight to make the flights each night. This is the 3rd straight year this shipper has created this problem. They've been told that the cutoff for orders to be shipped out the same day that they are placed is at 1900. After 1900, they are to change the ship date in the software, but they didn't do it (again).

I'm still delivering packages with current day Astra's that were ordered a week or two ago, people are still refusing late Christmas gifts
