The new plan,pt do p1

Did everyone lose some express to ground

i notice a few packages on the pick up side that will go to ground. Nothing major.

 

[fatboy33]

I’m still around 100 daily, so tough to tell. The number of stops I’ve heard we lost is pretty minimal, like only a couple stops per route.

I did have a residential delivery last week that had a 4Z package already delivered to the porch by the time I got there.

That's slowly being brought back. The question is, not their next move but their 3rd move

 

[NC man]

There was a conference call recently at our station about upcoming changes. I presume it was a district wide call. One manager I spoke with had doubts about how many deliveries the new 11 to 7 drivers could get off. And how our severe shortage of vehicles would play into the plan. Does anyone else see a cluster fk in the making?

Yep,we start in April .mgrs have been doing interviews.add bodies ,Trucks? instead of keep doing what we’re doing. But what do I know lol.

On my Ground route I have only delivered 2 Express packages so far this year.

We still have all the rentals/ uhauls and penskes from peak and they keep hiring people, so now there is a truck shortage for mid day people even with all of these rentals...lmao

Well, yeah, we suspended LMO for Peak and just recently reinstated it.

The management of trucks to rtes/drivers is nuts. The yard is always full yet drivers are waiting for other drivers to return to the station so that they may take over the truck. Thoughts on the company's direction are being discussed daily. One theory is they're hiring so many people in the event the station gets hit with a massive covid outbreak. These barely useful newbies are just on standby doing very little to be useful. Another thought is the company is, once and for all, eliminating all overtime. And lastly the company is hiring all these people to make ready, if the time comes when the founder is no longer with us, to sell the company over to Amazon. Time will tell us.

Replace higher paid senior couriers with cheaper newer couriers.

It cost more in insurance and healthcare than a couple hours overtime.

I'm getting way to much OT as well- along with a lot of others- in spite of a ton of new hires and new routes being installed

 

[Serf]

Same here. Worker 50-55 hrs a week for what seems like forever. Can’t wait to get to 7-8 hrs again.

 

[NC man]

I can only remember taking 1-1 hour break in the last 18 or so years. They tried the 1 hour thing with us. Took it that day. Next morning our DM came in and I asked, with all the managers present, 'Do we need to take an hour break?'. Told us No. I saw a couple of red faces in the back

That's been on their wish-list for over 30 years, so rots of ruck with that idea.

They could start by filling all the routes to eliminate doubles every day. Top people out to get back to quality drivers and fire the ones that can’t do the job.

Sadly, Fred and company quit caring about quality drivers long ago. Their mission now is to make a quick buck, get cheap help and hope that the customers won’t complain too much.
