We used to have 3 feeder routes, now we have one. It's all about the numbers. Same with pick ups. We have a guy that picks up 5-7 skids of paper, won't let a feeder get it because of the numbers.
UPS has so many instances where they spend a buck to save a dime. I suspect that it will happen more and more as we have upper level managers that have never been in package or worse, hired from another company.
Another crappy numbers thing that I do not get.....
A plane is late, so we send another driver to the airport for air. Those packages are later shuttled out to routes and we are told to make service on as many as possible. Those that are late, are charged to my center, not the airport, where the late packages originated.
Or if a feeder has a scheduled departure and the local sort is not quite wrapped. Supe holds the feeder for 45 minutes. The time is charged to feeders, not the local sort that held the feeder.
The way UPS does cost accounting promotes mismanagement.
