Saturday Ground Update

[542thruNthru]

I know that, but what I'm wondering is if that route that was cut every Monday before Saturday ground, is it now being cut on let's say Friday because we work Saturday now?

No not here. Just cut Monday still

Friday seems to be like it was before Saturday ground. Remember those packages are guaranteed, they can't deliver them the following day.

Saturday work is basically work that was supposed to be delivered on Monday and has no effect on Friday routes.

Saturday Ground comes from what we are supposed to get on Monday, so routes get cut Monday. Our Saturday drivers are new and they work Tuesday-Saturday, so nobody is supposed to work six days straight.

Where do you find extra volume for these new drivers to work during the week?

Guys like me on the 9.5 list who don't want the overtime. My PDS has been giving me lots of days off also. It's fishing season!

Extra volume?


Tuesday-Friday run more routes then Monday already....

And the building is already staffed for that. What would the extra guys do besides Saturday?

All you're doing is taking the extra guys from Monday and having them work Saturday.


I don't see this creating very many jobs at least not in smaller centers.

I agree we have a ton of cover drivers in our building as of late and still training more. Tuesday I saw at least 11 drivers go home. What will all these guys do when we have so many extras.
