UPS Synchronized Delivery

[Turdferguson]

Of course they will ... they being any UPS local Operations employee.
Drivers been doing this stuff before you and I were even born.

Management has been doing it since before creation

 

[Catatonic]

Rural remote worked quite well, that is, until management turned it in to a dispatch tool.

It worked real well when I did it as a driver back in the '70s.

 

[Catatonic]

What about delivery time guarantees?


FedEx already whoops our ass I thought we were trying to get quicker not slower.

The Re-scheduled Delivery Date will be what is displayed to customer as expected Projected Delivery Date if shipper designated.

 

[Catatonic]

If there is a way to abuse the system they will find a way. Hide missed and LIB using this system are just two ways I see it being abused

I'll forward this to UPS Management communications letter.

I'll forward this to UPS Management communications letter.

The crap they pull to hide stuff is absolutely ridiculous.

I don't give a Fluff what they do, just don't ask me to do it.

 

[Catatonic]

Can we assume a 5% incentive to be the norm?

Sounds good ... I think Logistics sources and UPS projected up to 10% savings for shipper.

Alright, I get with them and make sure they "TELL" you to do it.

Not a chance Pal. I've seen too many supervisors walked out.

You do that. Because it wouldn't suprise me if they weren't abusing it already

 

[Turdferguson]

It worked real well when I did it as a driver back in the '70s.

But shockingly management abused it. Seems like management is the common denominator in messing things up

Was that for 2 or 3 days?

I curious----what did you friend up that you had to go into management?

Probably just show up on your car all synchronized.

I worked at UPS (or anywhere) for one reason only and that was to make money.
Back in the 70's, there was a lot more money in management than in driving, and I was working around 54 hours per week as a driver. Had to take a pay cut to go into management but within 2 years I was making more than I did as a driver plus getting stock bonuses.
It worked out well for me.

Somebody has to and you and I both know you can't depend on drivers.

Stock bonuses made you the winner. I remember all the contracts we tried to get the company to let us BUY stock.

Oh definitely!
I would not have stayed with UPS after getting out of college except for the lure of the stock ...
and the fact that the Engineering company I worked for, that offered me a job, was not that profitable and stable.
I was already bored with engineering anyway. Very tedious and boring job.

To be devious ,underhanded, and incompetent like management.
AGREED

 

[Catatonic]

To be devious ,underhanded, and incompetent like management.
AGREED

Hardly "Incompetent" ... I've seen many driver's "reasoned thinking" on here.
As for devious and underhanded, pretty much the same observations.
Not as many mangement get fired for "devious and underhanded" as non-management.
