Express going "independent" ...and to current events

Thank you.

If I did it wouldn't be mine----Jeffrey is camera shy.

bbsam, how hard would it be for you to incorporate commit times and on demand pickups in to your employee's daily schedules?

Easier every day especially since we are in a robust period of overlapping Ground and HD right now.

Just smack Jeffrey around a bit. He'll come out of his shell...a docking candidate perhaps?

I've got about 4 P1200 trucks to every Express sprinter in my area. I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard absorb that volume.

I tried to send one to @Indecisi0n but I got a message that his male box was full.

Ok. That's just stupid wrong. I'm going to post it though because of my stupid juvenile sense of humor but am going to delete it quickly.

The Trump Effect is slow and insidious. You are now part of the Borg.

Might be hard to get those p1200 drivers to hit multiple commit times..

1745? Are you in the middle of nowhere? Our drop dead time is either 2030 or 2100.

Add 0800/1000/1100/1400/1500 and mix in pups with possible 1 hour windows and it would be a little more difficult to have the min wage drivers make the effort.

RPS was an infant compared to the size of the Express operation.

When X bought them I thought it was a bad investment because they were losing millions and never had a profit in the years prior to the purchase.

You don't think my guys are currently aware of delivery time requirements? Plenty of receiving areas close at noon or 15:30. A couple P1 stops wouldn't make much of a difference.

you could say that. Flights leave here at 18:30. One to MEM and one to OAK

Express doesn't pickup from kinkos until 19:00 around here.

Yep, there's nothing like covering the same territory 3 or 4 times a day. And don't forget on-call pickups with an hour window. Usually less than an hour after you leave there and are 10 miles or more away.

It's more than a couple of p1 stops, ask any UPS driver as they do both air and ground.

Great minds think alike! LOL

Our flights leave at 2230 or 2300. Sad I can’t remember which since I worked at the ramp. Lok.

I'm not talking just volume-----I am talking about breaking off to make service on premium products and possibly having to alter your schedule due to incoming and outgoing planes.

last pup here for kinkos is 17:00
