Total Service Plan (TSP)

[Thebrownblob]

Everyone should be extremely offended about the failed TSP …now we strike

We never really implemented it here, talked about it then we ignored it.

They only needed air drivers if they cared about service. They never used as many as they needed because they weren't allowed to

thats just not true; most of the time if we have late air its the air network or occasionally the preload

When I started driving service was King.

Everyone in my loop had 15-20 air stops every day. Sometimes even more. Barely possible on a good day but never if you get out of the building late.

thats your PDS high on hopium; he could have gotten some PSP, it takes less justification than you think

We had balloons and cookies on Monday a couple weeks ago.

Years ago I used to shuttle misload NDA around the state to make service. Now the customer will get their NDA when we get time.

Years, years ago, we used to line flight, that is, take to the airport and put on a commercial flight, NDA packages that were picked up and left in building for one reason or another that didn't make the outgoing NDA trailer.

Very expensive but back then service mattered

They were trying to claw some business from FedEx.

Remember how they would “line flight” missed next day airs through other carriers that missed…that goes back to the early 90’s but they ate that cost to at least get the packages there same day

You beat me to it….lol. I remember a few times that large shipments of EAM’s missed and they actually put them on a charter Lear jet and flew them straight there..I think that one flight was over 10k…

 

[BrownPurpleOrange]

I made a lot of extra dough delivering line flight NDA'S way back in the 90's.

When I started the Midnight Sort as a hubrat in '75, we would line flight Second Day Air found after the air trailer pulled.

I think it cost us about a hundred dollars a package to line flight

Yep.

We screwed up. We did not get that package on the air trailer. And there was a reason the customer paid a huge premium to send it NDA. It needed to be there the next day.

So we got it there the next day via line flight. Maybe late, but we got it there. It cost us a lot of money, but we had customer service back then.

Today, we just say to hell with the customer. It will go out tomorrow. We can't do our jobs, so we make the customer pay the price for our incompetence.

 

[UPSER1987]

air drivers were completely overused

there's only a few buildings in the COUNTRY that really, really need a whole swath of dedicated air guys

Riiight…. Late preload wraps are the exception rather than the rule lol

 

[Sixth Punch Sense]

We are moving our start time 15 minutes earlier starting on Monday.

My last pick up has a hard stop complete. Presently it gets me back to the facility with 25 minutes to spare before 9.5 hits. Now I'll have 10 minutes. I'll be over every day next week.

The best job at ups waiting for a line flight at the airport some days I might make 2 or 3 trips
