What about "storing" all these scheduled deliveries. There isnt enough room already for futures, and now we are going to jam up the small space with scheduled deliveries? Secondly, preload will be responsible for "pulling" all those scheduled deliveries and they cant even put the right stops in the car in the first place nor can they put the proper futures in the car on the right days.
The distance between my business area and my residential area is 5 miles. If im in my business area , I can assure you that I WILL NOT BREAK off and head up the hill for a ground package during that time.
The cost of delay would be 12 mins up the hill, 5 minutes to complete the stop, and 12 minutes back to my business area. Thats 29 minutes that I DO NOT HAVE. Thats just ONE DELAY. Imagine a multitude of scheduled deliveries?
Sounds like a bunch of service failures to me. Now I know some management person on this board is going to tell us that the "center team" will figure out all the delays, but let me be the first to say that management is the dumbest element of the UPS system and they couldnt figure out how to tape a box shut collectively.
Some OMS will try to make me leave my pickups and go make a delivery miles away? I dont think so.
This service will turn out to be another "DIS SERVICE" to the UPS customer. RIght now, I am doing between 50 and 70 stops after 6PM because I cant get to them before 5PM, now UPS is going to tell me that I have to break off and go deliver 1 package in that area?
Not in this lifetime. Heres the message "can you deliver 25011 elm st at 330PM, cust made an appointment with my choice UPS"... My response is "I wont be in that area till 830PM tonight, advise cust to leave porch light on"
Peace.
