[QUOTE="hangin455, post: 200802, member: 6570"] I have seen the total service plan about 3 or 4 times in the last 10 years. Unfortunately what you're experiencing is what I've seen happen in the past - starts out strong, loses momentum and then you're back to the same ole thing. The problem is that everybody in the chain is responsible for a different set of results. Putting on a few more people in the hub so it goes down on time doesn't necessarily make it run more efficiently. Lowering stops on drivers and putting a few more on so pickup packages get back to the hub on time doesn't necessarily help the center's numbers either. Feeders could add some drivers to insure everything runs on time in the event of highway delays but that doesn't make their number either. The problem is that no one on high will give anyone permission to run less than plan in order to insure on time network performance. Therefore, everything reverts back to the same old plan where everybody's covering their butts at (possibly) somebody else's expense. Probably the biggest cost in operations is package driver OT and the service plan addresses that well but it always seems to fall apart in time. The drivers here definitely look at it as flavor of the month. [/QUOTE]
