[QUOTE="Bald1der, post: 5443554, member: 37334"] Although I absolutely believe this is the intent, I feel that this isn’t feasible and what we’re seeing on the ground (errr.. Express) doesn’t match. Our 4z production from our station accounts for 1 bag with 20 smalls a night and a J can with 14 pieces in it out of 3000-3500 pieces a night. We do see Direct Inject stuff, but I would probably say it numbers in the 100 piece range, a handful per night route. Our local ground sort is behind maybe a day on average (my own personal orders are always a day late). Warehouse jobs in our area are paying $20 to $24 an hour to start so handlers are nonexistent. I personally topped 100 stops/ 170 pieces a day 4 days this past week. So the work is there and it’s increasing. We are continuing to hire for all positions, and our lead ops manager made a cryptic statement saying, “more and more volume will be moved *back and forth* between the two companies.” This leads me to believe that changes are being made market by market.
