The new plan,pt do p1

[Operational needs]

It's crazy to think how the top is this ignorant. They just had 3 record profit quarters and now they are trying to reinvent the wheel.

Because there are people under them who are blowing smoke up their butts telling them everyone is happy and everything is great.

You’d better hope they don’t change the classification. I can’t think of a better motivator to eliminate the Express courier position than a threat of unionization. They’ll send all the deliveries to Ground, maybe keep a tiny workforce of part time couriers for priority deliveries.

They could send all they want through Ground but that doesn’t mean they’ll get delivered. Ground has more than they can handle as it is. More volume is just gonna mean more dex 01’s, just from a different opco.

I think he’s on the RESPONSE team. He’s been unusually quiet since the implementation of this CF.
@dezguy are you guys doing RESPONSE?

We aren't, but three times our freight has been mixed in with the Response freight. We are too far from the ramp to be involved.

Be glad you’re not involved with it lol. We’ve not run any Wave 2 routes this whole week. Just added the Wave 2 freight to the next day’s AM routes. Simply not enough people at my station.

I ran into a former manager of mine at the supermarket. He told me that in many cases those shipping P1s understand that delivery may not make service. They get a discount in exchange for giving up the money back guarantee as long as delivery occurs on the scheduled day. Later than that, they get their money back. Sounds a little wacko.

It is wacko. Most shippers want the service they selected and paid for.

Can anyone tell me if this RESPONSE plan is in effect in large, northern cities like New York or Chicago?

Dunno about new York but it is in chicago

While not a northern market, it is in effect in the DFW market and it is not doing well at all.

It’s working well if being dispatched 1-2 hours late every day is your goal.

I’m really curious as to who is responsible for this CurrentFiasco, and if they’re still employed!

Respond is national, so everyone shares the fun.

Not every zip code and most likely not every station, especially the very remote stations that are too far from a ramp.

Dano might be the sacrificial lamb.

Last I heard was 50 market areas, but as mentioned affecting the planet as a whole

Not every zip code and most likely not every station, especially the very remote stations that are too far from a ramp.

general rule of thumb:
do you have an indy flight into your market area? then you're probably part of response.

we're not, thank god, but our memphis plane has been showing up earlier and earlier. i mean, it's ALMOST on time.

 

[Nolimitz]

your one of the few

 

[fatboy33]

Not going to happen. That's too much too fast. Ground can't even handle what they have now and there is no way Express employees will go to ground. My guess is right now they are in panic mode and throwing anything at the wall to see if it sticks.

I don't believe service is as important as it once was. I believe the new mentality is just to get it delivered same day. We'll know come December.

 

[MassWineGuy]

I think you’re on to something here. Almost like they’re telling customers: “If you don’t like our delivery times use the OTHER FedEx.”

 

[Fergus Mahoney]

Management is pushing service so someone upstairs is still getting measured by it. We all know what direction $H!+ rolls.

 

[MassWineGuy]

I think that Respond will be changed to Standby during peak. Can you imagine the mess it would cause?
