If nobody wants it can't you name your price to haul it.Its so cheap nobody wants it.
I was speaking of ups as a whole company, not the freight sideUPS just came out saying their tonnage was down 12% 4Q15.
Go OD!!
Just like FedX.Freight side never makes money without the whole gang pulling the weight to even it out lolI was speaking of ups as a whole company, not the freight side

Considering they make about $60 billion more than we do a year I don't think they careJust like FedX.Freight side never makes money without the whole gang pulling the weight to even it out lol

You freight gurus do realize that numbers can be manipulated right? Vp level only sees what TM allow them to. Oh yes, even at ODThat kind of stuff will happen in every service center in the company...no way every day is like that.
Also -- every S/C has a great OR (as does the company) because we have one of the smartest pricing minds in the industry as VP. An OR is simple... cost divided by revenue -- so as long as the freight is priced right it will operate well. Little hiccups like this, or delays on the road, and whether the dock runs 3 bills/hr or 4....these are all little drops in the bucket which don't add up to much impact. OD manages yield like no other...we know what it costs to haul each account specifically. Other carriers do not...at least not to the extent that OD does. We need to keep giving that premier service...let the folks at corporate worry about the OR...and innovate in the terminals to remove excess waste and unnecessary work. That's how we will continue to improve.

Your TM doesn't have as much power as you think he does.
Yet another driver who thinks he knows how the business works. Stick to hooking trailers.
If any number jiving is taking place its at Corp. TMs are glorified babysitters. There job is to keep the drivers happy!So blind, if they can be manipulated at the local level it's happening in NC behind your office walls.
That was my point.FedEx Freight comes in and undercuts us and other companies -- because if they can get some package or air freight from the same shipper -- they will still come out ahead overall.
Amen to thatIf any number jiving is taking place its at Corp. TMs are glorified babysitters. There job is to keep the drivers happy!
Yep...wasn't arguing. Good point.That was my point.
If you only knew what this account requires as far as trailers and storage of returns..Just the opposite...nobody wants the hassle...so they come back to us and give us the business at our price. It will make money.

icon sucks no matter how much it pays....long driveways and pain in the butt customers that want you to set it up and demonstrate how to use it. I want to tell them the most exercise they will get from that machine is carrying it in the house.Most contracts have provisions for storage, detention, etc. OD will get paid.
Labor would be tracked and built into pricing as well. Those folks at CPT are on it.

Nope, I've been asked to unpack and set it up. Same with the saunas we did for Home Depot 10 years ago....that sales rep should be punched in the faceIt does suck...I've done several. Returns are even worse...never packaged nicely.
You were joking about setting up right..
