Nothingness Fluff ,part 2

Yeah but since UPS encourages shippers to ship fewer but heavier packages the real revenue number is probably different.

We like smalls better, heavies and oversized kill PPH.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

It's been really really light for about the last month. Like lighter than normal. Preload has been starting at 5AM. Normal start is 430.

The post office is delivering a ton of stuff.

A ton of the small stuff, yeah.

Especially do not want that.

Everyone I hear keeps saying fedex is kicking our ass.


Yet volume keeps going up.

I hear that evey time a customer leaves without getting their package.

My building has been steady...just a little above last year

But pieces are pieces. Aren't they?

Hey buddy...how was your day

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Umm...no. I've seen a lot of big Amazon package with USPS labels.

 

[Turdferguson]

Suck up

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Hey buddy...how was your day

Easy. Had only 200 pieces.

Just like stops per hour. Sure I can deliver 15 air conditioners. Just as fast as I deliver 15 LL Bean bags.

My recent Amazon has been mostly USPS for small stuff, UPS or FedEx for the big stuff.

Had a long time sup 35 yrs plus......used to cringe when he saw trucks loaded with smaller stuff...said the company wasn't making much off that kind of pkg

I'm just telling you what I see on people's porches.

One bulky package takes up the belt space of 15 smalls. If you look at PPH by trailers in our building you can tell which trailers were filled with smalls and what weren't. We're a one belt, two spa operation. With our Minneapolis trailers it is a ton of Amazon. Lots of smalls. PPH will jump to 2300 PPH. Meanwhile our St Paul, lots of bulk. PPH drops to about 1400. For drivers, a big package requires you to take a cart and maneuver the package more. With a small, grab and go. Everything is quicker with smalls.

The routes that make money for UPS have lousy allowances for the drivers.

I bet you could deliver those 15 LL Bean bags far quicker.

I disagree, and the numbers don't agree.
