10:30 commits are dead. 12pm here we go!

[rod]

Isn't it about that time of year when UPS gets rid of commit times all altogether?

 

[Commercial Inside Release]

Seriously.... Why do we care so much? If UPS wants to go to a 12pm commit time than that's up to them.

Air drivers care. With a 12pm commit, a lot of air will be moved onto the ground drivers' routes.

Maybe... All of it.

You still have air drivers?

You'll NEVER be allowed on the air ramp!

My NDA were already committed by 12 every day, which means… NO TIME COMMITS!

 

[burrheadd]

Since I hold myself to a higher standard than UPS, I will continue to make my personal commit time 10:30 for my loyal customers.

Do you get paid extra for this

The respect and admiration of management is as good as money.

In two weeks UPS is killing 10:30 commit times, Next day air will now be 12pm. Your thoughts?

Probably part of the peak plan.

I rarely hear of a customer who truly needs 1030 commits anymore.

The update from UPS says that residential NDA will be moved up to 12. It doesn't specifically say business will stay at 10:30 but I'm taking it as that.

So basically they'll want to rely on Orion that doesn't know it's head from it's butt when dispatching "residential only" ground on Saturday. All that does is puts more air on us ground drivers, and most likely we'll have to sift out the 10:30 commits from the false 12:00 commits that most likely trigger a late when you c.i.r. it as commercial. Seems like another short sited budget move from UPS that will cost them way more in the long run.

Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

 

[Brownslave688]

Which does nothing. Still have to break off and do the airs one way or another. Can’t get through a whole route by noon.

Provably just means they’ll give me more of my air instead of an air driver getting it.

When you drive 200 miles in a Day giving you the right air or 2 can save a lot of time.

I here ya. Even driving 50 miles a day, any NDA reduction makes the rest of the day more productive.

Noon resi commit just means Orion will make me run the route an extra time...Once for business air by 1030, a few ground stops (take break) then run resi nda, then run the route a 3rd time.

Sounds like more miles...$$$ for less work.

I always love having to run straight air so I can deliver a box of nutrigran bars from Amazon by 1030 to an empty house.

This won't help us drivers very much if at all, adding more air to existing routes and eliminating more Air drivers. More work less people American capitalism at it's best. If your running a (100 %) business route your route just got that much better; NO air saver commits 1200 Next day air commits.
