Is it true that SurePost is going to be eliminated?

That's hard to swallow.
"Remember that new program we implemented last year, where we discriminated against you based on your zip? Well, we are doubling down on that in 2025 with a %60 up charge for delivery, that more or less equates to a holding fee 2 days outta the week
You're welcome!"

Right I had that earlier. Which tells me we aren't dropping the product, just adjusting the price to match the service we are offering, final mile delivery.

Which is saying even if they keep using the same name it won't be the same service.

Yet another hidden result of government inflationary policy

I know USPS only wants the big sorting facilities to get pieces, I could see surepost being a hub/CPU style trailer drop offering that package cars never see on the shelves

UPS picks up full forever bags from the shippers then drops them off at the Post Office without opening them. Makes little difference whether it is picked up by trailers or package cars other than the space required for them on the trucks. That is the whole idea of Surepost and why UPS charges less for it.

Not true. Preload sorts and puts the Surepost in the forever bags.

You think the ups drivers like 80 surepost envelopes to deliver, driving up stop counts, the big union wigs think ups is going to put more trucks on the road instead of just jacking up stop counts

Then the Company can pay triple and quadruple time for 9.5 violations.

Now the 9am to 4pm bonus babies, they may be the ones to suffer at first, if they don't slow down and start working by the methods.

8 hr requests are easy pickings as well.

I doubt it’s going to create very many more jobs. It will just add density to your route although it might help with layoffs

 

[nWo]

Yeah we have low seniority seasonal peak drivers thinking they are going to be RPCDs now. Lol. Another 5-10 years guys. Back to pt loading next week.

It would be nice if it helped with Mondays dispatch

Well if drivers don’t ruin it and stay at the same pace and not go faster. More jobs will be created.

Just cash in while they are able. In a few weeks we are going to be hearing about layoffs and no ot. Same thing different day. No big deal we got this
