The ship is sinking.... how many missed?

[Ms.PacMan]

What do you say when they open the package, see the contents broken, and then they want to refuse?

Ask them if they want to keep it or refuse the pkg. If they keep it put damage in the remarks column. Tell them to contact the shipper and keep all the packing in case they want to file a claim.

A lot of companies, especially office supplies, just send them replacements and dont even bother with a claim because they know it wasn't packaged properly.

If they refuse it then follow your centers procedures for sheeting a damaged package and take it to your clerk.

 

[Ms.PacMan]

Rolled 4 trailers Monday, 4 Tuesday, 3 Wednesday, all caught up by Friday. I think our dispatch supe is using ORION more effectively this year (second year on ORION). Dispatch became self leveling as the week went on.

Refused, damaged.

We rolled a couple because they never arrived but we were clean everyday otherwise.

Not a bad peak so far, lets see what the next couple of weeks bring.

We had two loads from Syracuse that had been cancelled but ended up showing up anyway. We did roll those but are also clean going in to Monday.

You don't care about anything do you? A message board is a weird place for you to be if discussion bores you so much.

I just want a premium ride B4 I die

 

[UnconTROLLed]

zero care, to be honest if there's a devastating power-outage 2" of blue/white glaze "blue bomb" ice storm right around December 18-22nd, with heavy snow across the north, I will not cry.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

expect the unexpected? Does UPS hire the correct seasonal and etc. forecasters?

 

[JL 0513]

One might surmise that peak wouldn't be as much of a problem if UPS didn't set up driver staffing company wide with so much mandatory OT for the other 11 months.

Isn't it interesting that a business with one peak month would under staff the rest of the year. Then peak comes along a surprises everyone and there's somehow not enough drivers, trucks, building space, etc.

Monday next week will be storm. After the hubs process all of this backed up stuff they have this weekend.

Can’t be any worse then it was this week. My truck was bricked, floor to ceiling, front to back. They got work brought back every night.

Mine was like that Monday. Then they decided putting a business route in a p500 wasn't a great idea.

 

[The Driver]

Refused, damaged.

Other, missed.

 

[Grey]

Mall route with delivery docks that don't take anything past 11 and we're leaving at 10:45 most days. It's a disaster everyday trying to empty your truck and delivering at trash apartments after 9 pm.

Here comes the weather Midwestern US: Major storm to deliver snow, usher in coldest air so far this season next week...

Did you even bother to click on the link?

The "major storm" will produce between 6-12" of snow which will be confined to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and lesser amounts in surrounding areas. The usual lake effect belt areas will get slammed. Neither of these events should impact the overall operation in a significant manner.

 

[budlight]

Uhh, warm weather, rain turning to snow, turning to below freezing, Minneapolis, St. Paul, two major hubs. Both of which are so far behind at this point. Get your head out of your ass David. And guess what, it's headed your way... Arctic express to deliver cold air, wintry weather in eastern US starting later next week
