Total Service Plan (TSP)

[Trucker Clock]

SurePost

Won’t work. Get rid of Surepost and they will have to raise the rates on those packages. We will then loose that volume.

There will never be enough work for all the drivers during the week if the number of Tue-Sat jobs equaled the number of Saturday jobs.

Remember, some people on here want to get rid of 22.4 and make them all RPCD.

This will never work.

In my building they are trying without success to force 1/2 the senority list in 6 days a week because they need them Monday, and Saturday.
They need to figure something out, or come next year we are going to risk losing a giant chunk of market share.

With every week of RPCD no shows on Saturday they staff higher on the senority list for the next week in the hope some of us will show up*

 

[Coldworld]

Half of the preloaders didn't show up.

Good start...

You have to fully staff the operations for this to even work….when they took away the extra rate for gun rats was very bad idea.

 

[Coldworld]

They might have to start bringing back some attendance bonuses

They need to up the hourly rate.

 

[TearsInRain]

No. Explain Fed Ex TNT map.

its better/faster

2017-2019 we had 15 Saturday routes. Now we have almost 50. I’m talking about the increase of Saturday routes from the original amount. Not expansion around the country.

Saturday is the new Monday; for your building it means you had tons of loads getting in by Sat morning then sitting till Monday already

why make them sit? run them Saturday, gives you more room on Monday for potentially pushing Tues/Weds loads forward and balancing out the week

its better/faster

And yet every time I get a order from them it’s delayed. Maybe it’s fantasy.

 

[TearsInRain]

Is six days a week for some drivers Corporate’s new business model? Until next contract!

the plan is always to have zero 6th day punches; bad staffing means you have disorganized management or a tough labor market, or both lol

Because we don’t have the people.

And now management is reaping the rewards of about four years of this nonsense. Driver fatigue, Low driver morale, drivers quitting, And having a difficult time making service because we can’t replace them…. bravo

Remember back in the day when drivers only left the company because they retired or were fired?? Nobody just walked out because they were tired of the BS…happens all the time now.

Ever since Saturday delivery hit the fan…
No one wants to work Saturdays.

I have said all along that every weekend off is one of the few perks of this job. Take that away and lots of other jobs are more attractive.

 

[Brownslave688]

Exactly. So you need 50 Tue-Sat jobs. How will there be enough work during the week for 50 more drivers?

Deliver close proximity surepost. Bam magically enough work.

 

[Brownslave688]

Lol
Let’s see if we can get Saturday figured out first

When has ups ever worried about figuring something out before jumping to the next thing?

That’s exactly what they’re going to do I’ve already been told that

UPS management has always been difficult, but that’s a known quantity, now they’re not only difficult, they’re inept. And their workforce is getting more and more disgruntled. Eventually they are going to smack back.

Already happening with the PT workforce. Used to be one of the best PT jobs you could have. FT pay with benefits after 90 days and weekends and Holidays off with pay. Now it is considered one of the worse PT job.

You are a broken record. You are literally talking about 40 years ago now. Get over it. It's still a part-time job that can offer benefits for your entire family and/or pay for your schooling. Certainly not one of the worst. I know 9 months blah blah blah.

I have an acquaintance that just got hired at worldport. She’s so happy. Can’t wait to hear what she says in a week or 2.
