The new plan,pt do p1

[Gone fishin]

I copied word for word what our district manager told us. Not a ops manager trying to keep his station afloat. Markets already included in the response program haven’t even begun to feel the effects of this. It’s not even full go yet at the hubs. A courier who’s route hasn’t been effected yet, at a station waiting for the switch to flip, with a manager lying to them, isn’t really the one to chime in on the topic. If by peak this year the company hasn’t dropped FT first shift you can call me

Wouldn’t call you dumb , I just don’t think you’re getting the whole story

dumb.

I'm not saying they couldn't be good. But comparing them to those that actually do a full route is dumb. Sort of like how a so called retired fo driver saying it's too tough for me.

The job is simple. Anyone can do it.

Very simple. Common sense goes a long way.

Yet there are still many who simply cannot do it.

Yet there are still many who simply cannot do it.

Especially when it comes to making service, breaking route, mixing deliveries and pickups, etc.

From what I heard RESPONSE will only effect you right now if your metro gets an indy flight.

Correct , ours is trucked. Our plan is to hire a full time route to bring out freight to the somewhat extended routes. Our closer routes will run back to the station. If there’s only a few in the area , the pickup routes will deliver them.
we’re not expected to have much from the second sort , the only person starting later is the route bringing the freight out. Other than that same start times

 

[!Retired!]

With the new system one driver will deliver P1, one will deliver P2, and a third will deliver ground. Even more efficient!

But, not to the same places

I do..dispatch wont broadcast it

Then it's out of your hands. The messages stay in the system, so your ass is covered

Ok, how exactly is this going to save the company money again?

Dude the post was found here, FB, and Reddit -- verbatim across all there.

It won’t. When the p1 part timers call in sick or quit there will be piles of p1 failure. If your station does move your rt later no one should ever come in early to help. Let them fail

Front line costs will increase overall but the savings from the reduction in flights will compensate for that and then some. For example a flight route that operates 4X a week at a cost of $18,000/flight is cut, saving over $3.5 million/year. It might create another $1.5 million in other costs but it's a net savings of $2 million from that flight.

 

[SmithBarney]

Those terms you used are not speaking of the same system, from what I understand. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

RESPONSE is the one for the new double sort that stations will have and the am and mid-day routes.
LMO is the handoff of deliveries to Ground.
MILES AHEAD is the technology rollout (Leo, maps, GPS, SSRA) if I recall.

OH I know most of them, but half the time our ops team throws all kinds of terms that don't relate to anything.. or they use the wrong terms for the wrong programs.

If you have a flight from Indy that was normal AM flight and now it's a later flight, how does that save money. I guess if you have 2 inbound already and can cut it to 1 but how many get 2+ Indy flights a day?

I know I’m about to blow your mind here... but have you ever thought maybe it’s because other people were told the same information....

Are you so consumed with being an apologetic for FedEx that you monitor all social media for any reference to FedEx?

Is THAT your job?

 

[FedexGirl]

I do not understand why there are so many people on here who are simply here to be rude to others. It would be better to have a forum where people support each other.
