At least it is so light that you can grab 10 packages at a time!

They’re even wrapped like cheap Chinese crap tape all over them in a ball . Who the hell is ordering this junk?

Why do we have Orion again?




Again, I was curious to the "unicorn scenario" My statement was...

"
Ok.....yup, Orion makes all the sense.

Orion was created so UPS could get a sweet discount from using less fuel when gas was stupid expensive around 2008-ish...by traveling less miles. However it resulted in longer on-duty time, increased OT, pissed off customers, etc, etc.

Orion has been a pita from day 1"

10-15 stops per car is fine, that's not where the added time came from...that's maybe 30 min of resis. It was the back and forth, 1st air stop being a ridiculous priority, delivering to businesses late, upsetting customers, getting back later, etc. That's real, that's not "unicorn"

I do have an idea with all due respect.

ORION is for the future state driverless vehicles - the AI won’t know how to be pissed at it.

Thanks @catstalking View attachment 459782

you're welcome for the extra $$

If our management is supersmart like Apple people, we would have the whole website infrastructure where SMB can register an account and have their products listed on a site similar to Amazon. We would handle warehousing, shipping, customer services, and credit card processing for a price! The only thing UPS doesn't own is the products itself.

But it will be a separate company because it only costs Amazon 1.50 bucks to ship a box where UPS is 10 bucks or more? I'm just guessing here...someone has to find this info.

• Most third-party sellers using the relaunched service pay at least 30% less compared to the list rate at other leading carriers, Ripley MacDonald, VP of Amazon Shipping, said in a Wednesday session at Amazon Accelerate. Amazon Shipping offers delivery on orders placed on Amazon.com, sellers’ websites and other channels.
• “Plus, we charge fewer fees,” MacDonald added. “No residential surcharges, no extra fees for weekend deliveries.”

Our volume combined with our efficiency has always been our competitive edge over our competitors. With our volume seemingly on a huge decline and our efficiency maxed out if not declining as well. Is our current model sustainable?

no

What are if any, the company’s plan for our future? Short term and or long term.

there's a bunch of competing initiatives all playing out at once but to simplify to 3 items:

• more automated hubs like SMART or EZRPA, close or scale back heavily on any non-automated hub
• pickup and move work earlier to match Fedex on TNT
• cut the absolute out of operations management because there's too many chiefs micromanaging all the indians

 

[Commercial Inside Release]

UPS jobs were just cut to 192 for the US. Lowest I can remember. Probably be zero on January 16th, with a hiring freeze.

Don't spend too much, on Christmas.

Dear Lord. Well I'm a millionaire. I have tons of monopoly money.

If the Internet is down, can the computers still deal with Bitcoin?

Absolutely.

You could make a node that syncs via carrier pigeon, if you’re willing to put in the time and effort.

I’m just referring to the s&p 500. Which as you probably already know, are some of the most profitable companies in the U.S.

Yeah I just allocate certain percentages to the Russell 2000, s&p 500, international and nasdaq index etfs and it’s worked very well for me over the last 16 years

 

[Sixth Punch Sense]

I have a theory that negotiations between Tome and O'Brien were done well before the deadline. And Carol allowed Sean the platform to seem like he was a hard ass to take it to the deadline. Reasoning is that he will take less while it looks like he squeezed the company and they would both benefit if it helps with organizing Amazon and lesser extent Fed-Ex.

Do you guys talk about that at all, or does nobody care? Or am I just a crack pot

Perhaps

Alright here's another question for @catstalking

Why do I have 1 or 2 stops in a neighborhood that is clearly the guys next to me route. And the guy next to me has the whole neighborhood?

I know the easy answer is those 2 stops are on a same street that's on my route. But why can't that system or ui you guys use make the distinction that those stops should be on the other driver?

How does a stop show in my board with 0 packages and never opens up or closes out and still counts as a no scan

Wtf are you talking about.

 

[Fido]

Wtf are you talking about.

A stop being in my board
As a delivery
Says 0+0 for packages
Can’t open the stop
Even still shows up on map
Can’t do anything to remove from manifest
Counts as a no scan after clocking out
