[QUOTE="Aquaman, post: 5135918, member: 68552"] Yep. My station is contracting RTD routes out to third party and leaving the regular drivers with nothing to do. Saying we don’t have enough drivers. Enough drivers for what? Sitting around at the station with nothing to do? Is that what we need to keep those guys off their routes for? Our managers made the number 1 mistake FedEx managers should avoid…. They don’t bid open routes. They don’t want to have to try to hire more drivers. In their minds, if they bid a route there’s a chance a swing could get it. Costing them a cover driver. Never mind that leaving the route open is costing them a cover driver week to week anyway lol. Well they did this for so long our swings started leaving. News flash to management, RTD’s don’t want to be swings. That made the open route problem worse. Just a tip to any manager that might read this, you bid open routes so that your new hire swings… aren’t wasted being designated to a route nobody runs. [/QUOTE]
