When is the other foot going to drop?

That's what she said.

Yes, that’s exactly what she said. Lollies

The expression does specify the other shoe dropping.

Have y’all heard that P1s will now have a 1200 commit through this pandemic?

Management here stated that everything must make commitment, whether or not that's what MEM says.

How many Captains does this boat HAVE?

1200 is the new temporary commit.

Way too many.

I did see that on the FB group but we’re still running normal service commit times at my station right now. I don’t think we’ve really had much trouble in our 10:30 areas at all.

It starts Monday. I’m pretty sure it has more to do with saving money than trouble with 10:30 areas.

Temporary or the new norm? We were told this morning that this starts Monday with no further info.

Probably the new norm after this is all over. I guess it depends on how loudly customers complain when all the businesses open up again. It’s being tested now.

I've always thought that our company could do just fine with 12:00 and 16:30 P1 commits, and 16:30 for ALL P2 business commits (no more 15:00 rushes). If someone wanted early delivery, then FO.

I've never really understood the practicality of FO's. I was an FO driver for a year and I'd say at least half of my packages wound up in the nearest drop box waiting for the day shift driver because the business wasn't open at 7 AM.

Its so a customer can check the wrong service and then we charge them triple....and then wake up their client early ..and piss them off

I never laughed so hard when management bragged about how well FO was doing after they changed the airbills. I'm sure putting FO at the top of the airbill where PO used to be had NOTHING to do with it at all....

P1 commit for businesses is still 10:30 and for residential it's 12:00. Most likely that'll be the new normal.

That’s not what we were told. We were told ALL 1030 P1 resi and business will be 1200.

I think it may be different for individual districts. This is purely cost cutting move to reduce onroad hours. Doubt it will be permanent as FedEx will still have to compete with UPS for commit times.

That would be nice since the fastest couriers are having between 5 an 10 P1 lates. It's no big deal. We have lowered the bar big time.

Ups actual delivery times are usually well ahead of FedEx especially in noon areas many UPS drivers with just a few next day air
