[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 809751, member: 12508"] Maybe some of Fred's money found it's way into Clausnitzer's pocket. My last email conversation with him was via FedExaminer.com, but that was at least 2 years ago. Once I stopped posting there (because it's run by lawyers looking for business), I didn't hear from him any more. If anyone out there knows him, have him drop by the BrownCafe and fill us in. Hey, vantexan, you used to post there? Do you remember his "handle"? Also, I don't hear anyone actively referring to "Best Practices" at all these days. One day we had an auditor at the station when I was doing a flex route taking everyone's baseline packages. The senior manager and the auditor were hovering over me and being critical because I wasn't using the approved 4-square "BP" method for sorting my OL's and Paks. I explained that because I literally got my stuff 2 or 3 pieces at a time as the people I was helping sorted through [I]their [/I]truck, that "BP" methods didn't make sense for what I was doing. It finally sunk-in that a blanket, one-size-fits-all prescription doesn't always make sense for all situations. Neither of them knew what the Hell they were doing anyway because they'd never been couriers. Par for the couse at FedEx. [/QUOTE]
