Sure have been seeing a ton lately in express. They came out and announced they were going to hire their own folks to deliver last year. Maybe they figured they cant handle it? Thoughts??
Do any of you guys have a WM distribution center near you? A W700 used to be enough to do the daily pickup, now the ramp is sending a 53' truck straight there and bulking it out.
::edit:: This is for one that I know about in CO. Anybody have any idea how many distribution centers there are around the country?
We now get to split our Walmart deliveries. One stop is for in store stuff, the other stop is customer pickup/ship to store.
Both go the same receiving area. Our Vision sorting system just breaks out 2 stops and we scan them separately. I assume there's some benefit on the back end tech side to more easily find what ship to store stuff has arrived.Are there separate receiving areas for GM and Ship to Store? The Walmart I deliver to accepts both at the same time.
The only split I've gotten when doing Express deliveries is for pharmacy. Have to manually split the vision center because receiving won't sign for that either. Sam's is basically the same except also have to split out the hearing center as well. Luckily they are in the same parking lot, sometimes 5 stops between the 2.

Your Vision coordinator needs to be tarred and feathered for this. Especially if this is a mall that gets so many deliveries daily that it gets it's own truck. I'd hate to see the load quality on a truck like that with a terrible Vision plan. lolMeanwhile one of the malls in my station that I cover at combines all the stores, kiosks, management, security, and food court deliveries into one stop some days

Yep, some days, when it feels REALLY nice, it'll give you a .2, .3 and maybe, just maybe, if it got enough coke the night before, a .4.Pretty sure he is express. We have a massive mall that has 2 sides and a lot of double stores, takes almost all day to deliver. Our roads system will group every store as xxxx mall road so the stop sheet will say you have 30 total stops that day but you really have almost 120

When I'm sent to that fourth circle of hell, I just 'deliver package' and scan the address barcode. I use the original stop as a 'how many packages do I have left' counter.
