Yes, our Hospital driver says he's doing the PUP as the SO and late freight driver is arriving. I guess the company is forcing businesses to make a choice, either make every package a P1 or go with another deliver company for the same late afternoon service.
Fedex is getting greedy and shippers will start to go to UPS. They'll be glad to take the volume and deliver it all at the same time.
Yep... couriers delivering all the freight in one stop, regardless of service IS the most productive solution. These idiots aren’t the ones that run routes everyday. It makes no sense to have a driver come in the AM to deliver P1, another driver come in the afternoon to deliver P2, and have him come back later that day for a pickup. That makes zero logistical sense. If the goal is to squeeze customers into using P1, I have a simpler solution..... increase cost of P2.....
Feeling I get is they are waiting to see what losing this freight to ground will do to volumes and stop counts. I think they are hoping for a restructuring of alot of routes. We had a few 30 year employees give their notice. They will hire $#!+heads to replace them.
I agree on all your points. No improvements whatsoever. We are still leaving the building every day around 10:00. We are also still rolling freight every day. Customers are still pissed off. Thank goodness I don’t have to deal with any of them. What a great way to service customers.
I only have lates because all my commit times are before 10:01. It's been better the past two weeks but we are still failing due to issues outside of our stations control.
Fair point. I'm sure they see the demographics. There's a large number of vets very close to retirement. I'll say by 5 years time, a significant number will be retired and the employees left will average 7 to 9 years of service.
