Wait, we're inter-mingling opcos again.
Didn't realize it was an OPCO-specific thread.

Yep. For a company dead set on six day operations, you’d think they could get the analytics going a bit better.They told me the shift was happening this week. My actual deliveries on Saturday were double what was on the projection report. Who knows what I’ll get on Monday.
Typical FedEx MO. Jump, then look.Yep. For a company dead set on six day operations, you’d think they could get the analytics going a bit better.
We have 12 HD drivers on my line. (I ended up switching to a different contractor. They still keep HD and ground separate)5 Drivers out of how many routes for your subcontractor? Do they volunteer to be on a 5 day work week instead of 6?

We were told 6 day weeks all January. Ended up only having to work one Monday this month. The drivers that are told to stay home are only working 4 day weeks.
I warned the FedEx mechanic to stock up on blue water.
You really should start drinking alcohol - excessively.but I don't drink alcohol, so it would probably freeze in the washer fluid reservoir...
Blue juice in the airline industry is the crap that's in the toilets.I dunno, blue water has alcohol so the fluid won't freeze, right?
I'm with an investor group that has 3 different business names to keep it hush hush from the remaining 3 subcontractors in the terminal so about 60+ drivers in the group.
About a dozen drives the Ford v12 busses, so they can't do a 6 day work week. The majority are in p700s & a few cargo vans that falls over the 10,000 lbs limit.
I'm one of the few with under that weight limit so I can do Mondays if needed. Combining my route with my neighbor route will put me over the 200 mile day, but it's easy work with no business pickups... yet
I serviced the same area for nearly 15 and the know-it-all management would try to pull certain crap all the time. They did not know let alone understand the area and same for my customers. I just ignored them until the next time, then repeat.Wish they can leave me alone as I serviced these same customers close to 4 years now...
I hopeSince volume is the topic here's my experience this past week. Express called me over to talk. The advertised job was Saturdays and Mondays. When I got over there what I was told was something completely different. What they wanted was somebody ( obviously preferably younger) who knew the area very well but would NOT be guaranteed any minimum weekly hours no benefits, their primary income source came from someplace other than X , was willing to spend every waking moment with their cell phone strapped to them and still be able to drop whatever it was they were doing at that moment and answer their every beckon call. ......It was everything I could do to keep a straight face.......So all I can say to them is......good luck finding that guy.
That's exactly the method UPS used for seasonal employees here during Peak. Call in, get a meeting location, drive there, run packages, return to vehicle, clock out, go home, wait weeks for paycheck, hope it's correct because the 'co-ordinator' left for a better job. Grandkids won't make THAT mistake again!Since volume is the topic here's my experience this past week. Express called me over to talk. The advertised job was Saturdays and Mondays.
