I am just wondering if every division is run the same way.
I work at a small extended center. Our air volume was delayed this morning due to weather and did not get to the airport until noon. I had to finish running a a route for a TCD that called in before I could drive over to get our volume because we were short on staffing today and we have no extra vehicles. I got our volume back to the center at 3 and was able to get some of the volume out but still have several hundred LIB packages. I sent a message to all drivers that were going to have DOT hours left at the end of the week and had 10 drivers lined up for Saturday to deliver so we could be caught up by Monday. I called my DM to let him know that we were opening the building on Saturday and he told me to hold the volume until Monday. I was then told that I had to bring most of my rental vehicles back before Monday morning. I know that it is not cost effective to pay drivers time and a half to deliver air on Saturday, but what about the cost of lost customers.......how many packages are going to have to be LIB's next week before it justifies getting the rental's back. I know that my DM is just doing as instructed, but is anybody else experiencing this setup to fail horribly next week?
