UPS Will not be Dominant in the next Decade

[Turdferguson]

Wut???? Do you realize how ridiculous that is? In what state in this country is knocking on one’s door an invasion of private property and a public disturbance?

Troll.
And not a very clever one at that

UPS is going to buy out the Union.

How do they do that? Lol

The state of America, fecal matter for brains

Hes is gooned on coke. Rolling around on the floor in his pee and stained tighty whiteys that are three sizes too large.
Dont expect an answer any time soon

 

[Brisket]

Is this thing on?

No.

Working preload + day sort to get 8 hours

Zero of that here.

 

[PT Car Washer]

Zero of that here.

We have drivers working preload and twilight sorts. Then being told to bring their browns with them in case they need to run a route later. What happened to no more then 90 minutes between sorts or 10 hours off.

The sky isn’t falling here but I expect ups to have a rough next 5-7 years. We’re spending a ton of money on infrastructure that’s out dated, hiring a bunch of fulltime drivers, starting Saturday and Sunday delivery, this all costs big money. A recession in this time period would really hurt.

Spending too much. AMZN is going to leave Brown hanging, then we will be overwhelmed with infrastructure. Then Brown will blame (drum roll) US!

No name calling or I’ll rip your ears off. I’m totally trapezoid shaped like @sailfish so I mean it!

You probably don't even know what that means. You're like a six year old that just learned a new word and has to find a way to use it every time they speak.

In the Central, back-to-back shifts are required for the 90 minute gap to apply.


"Where the work of two (2) part-time employees is available back-to-back (ninety [90] minute gap or less), laid off full-time employees must take the work of two part-time employees."


Preload-Twilight wouldn't enjoy that provision.

Great quote from Jim. Probably didn't originate it, but sounded good at the end of Roadhouse Blues.

Only if they move operations to a boat and name it Titanic!

 

[watdaflock?]

UPS leadership is foolish and have no concept of sound strategy. This is uncontroversial.

Unless Trump is gone, the union companies have no future.

UPS leadership is foolish and have no concept of sound strategy. This is uncontroversial.

The reason why we're going to go down hard, and soon, however, is because UPS thinks it can play the cheap labor game with expensive union labor.

Instead of playing to our advantage: depth of service, we cut service (C.I.R.) and play to the competitor's advantage. A smart company would increase depth of service and force its competitors, by way of customer expectation, to increase their level of service beyond which their cheap labor-force can provide. For every service UPS provides its competitors must provide an offering.

UPS has totally lost control of the shipping industry by allowing cheap labor, and cost cutting, to become the rule. We have remained dominant in the dawn of cheap labor and half-assed service, but don't expect that to last.
Amazon can/will operate at a loss and their shareholders and investors accept that. How can expensive union labor compete against them by playing the game according to their rules?

Personally, I have spent the last three years investing in property, and other endeavors, so that in five years or so I can comfortably watch UPS crumble and its leadership and invertebrate minions commit suicide.
I kindly prompt all UPSers to do the same.

A recession in this time period would really hurt.

Like the one beginning now that the Fed is trying to stave off with zero (hell maybe even negative) interest rates?

Propping the economy with popsicle sticks and $ store duct tape. (Must be an election year)
