I think yours is familiar though. They had 5-6 major distribution centers and I believe the closest with stock is where it was sent from. I think @scratch may be familiar with the Forest Pk 323-999(?) Pennys

Yep that was one didn’t see too often.

The problem is they're running it in the ground.

Just enjoy the ride. Provide the best service possible and treat the customer like a king. It’s definitely challenging but worth it being the best.

Keep the money machine going.

I saw an article once about a leaked report from Amazon that said they would soon be running out of people to hire and employ since they’re churning and burning through them so quickly

Leaked Amazon memo warns the company is running out of people to hire

Unions might not be the tech giant’s biggest labor threat.

Amazon will always have this problem paying crap wages. It's a predicament for them since their business was built on selling things cheap and with "free" shipping. On top of the superior shopping interface and shipping speed. Now that they've put thousands of others out of business, they'll be forced to raise prices by needing to pay more and more.

Funny looking at the contrast between UPS driver and Amazon driver. The former are all lifers, the latter a temp job.

I started in the original Atlanta Hub off Fulton Industrial and at that time JC Pennys was the biggest shipper in the state. The Penny's catalog center was Postal Annex 30390 in Forest Park, it has it's own zip code. The shipper number was 322-758, they did have a couple of others. They also had a parts warehouse in Morrow, GA where they shipped parts for just about anything they sold, I used to deliver about 250 pieces a day to it. I was in Forest Park Center, and UPS opened the Forest Park Hub in 1991 down the street from JC Penny's. At the time Feeder was pulling out about ten loads a day and thirty during Peak Season. Quite a few times if I finished early I had to go get their Next Day Air, they shipped all over the world. That catalog center had a reputation for be run horribly, so eventually it was shut down and their work went to Columbus Ohio.

I don't care how much money Fred had, Ground had to be done with contractors. No other way FedX could have done it. Put it on the back of the individual. It's evidently worked.
The reason Amazon and FedX Ground have worked is painfully obvious. After the drivers figure it out, bye- bye.

The Pajeet CEO is ruining it, according to r/Fedexers

I give UPS about 3 more years. It's like they WANT to go out of business.

Go away boomer. Give US 3 years without your boomer, retired thoughts. Please go and live.

This. I tell people all the time, they're always opening up facilities here in my state, cause they can't staff some of the old ones anymore...

"Shut it down folks, let's build a new one 15 miles away, and hire all the people who need bus passes to work here. Oh wait they won't work anymore here either? You mean we can't treat them like slaves? ... oops"

Look at all those glorious mustaches....

 

[DOK]

The question also needs to be asked is where does it stop? To keep achieving higher and higher profits year over year does she then drop the next big account with low margin packages…..

 

[Lineandinitial]

Low margins / high overhead.

Which is most controllable?

Guys at the top can thank SOB, guys in the middle and at the bottom….don't get too settled in.

Surely this is not unexpected.

Perfect.
No pension about the same time Social Security goes belly up.
I just got an image of Michael Douglas in that movie, Falling Down.

If I recall, you were 52 when you retired in 2009?
If this is correct, go away from this board and scoot on over to no life after brown. This is one example of boomerism that just represents why everyone collective hates your generation. Which will go down as the most selfish, narcissistic, and evil generation.

The entire idea of a pension is absolute peak boomerism.... pay me to not work for 35 years. You are a drain on everyone's time, wallets, and patience.

Spare me and this board any retort... NO ONE CARES. They don't even care about this reply.

Now, as to actual ups business, you're all too far removed from what the situation is now for any advice, except general work ethic or maybe stocks (but what idiot listens to internet forums about stocks) or FOLLOW THE METHODS, to apply. I could take any advice you could give and apply it to ANY profession. Follow the methods, work safe, show up on time. blah blah blah....

The day of the pillow approaches.
