Lack of volume?

Lack of competence more like.

Nope.

As with any new service offering, there will be hiccups along the way.

Unload trailer, put on belt
Take off belt, put in pkg car


What’s so new about that? Now you’re gonna say PEAK is a new service too.

Saturday Ground is a new service offering.

Saturday Ground is a new service offering.

What is done differently to make it a NEW service?

I think this will be the end of OT for M-friend drivers. UPS will limit M-friend drivers to 8 hrs and transfer work to the lower paid drivers, assuming they will have no 9.5 protection.

Probably for 9.5 drivers, but I don’t see a driver that wants overtime being forced to give his work away.

Most likely, routes will be collapsed left and right and the remainder will be absolutely slammed; drivers who don’t want OT will be relieved by 22.3 drivers before 9.5 while those who want OT will be working close to 70 hours a week.

BECAUSE HE SAYS SO.
That's why.

Go back to the FedEx forum where all the 3rd class drivers dwell.

The view is probably limited under the desk and especially while sharing it with quakerstateNYupser.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

You’re not prone to idiotic posts so I’ll give you that.

 

[MAKAVELI]

Can't argue that statement.

Lack of volume?

Obviously, but we don't see this at all in my area. Either that or its masked by the eleven and twelve hour days.

 

[BigBrown1234]

At my building

We have dropped in the amount of routes we put out daily over the past 10 years.

The drivers still work 12s but it’s less drivers covering the same amount of area

Considering the city’s we cover have grown by at least 10% per year

 

[Tony Q]

When the Amazon fulfillment centers entered our area we initially lost I think about twelve percent of our volume.
