With the Job Selection Process (JSP) just around the corner has anyone else noticed the favoritism and complete disregard for seniority? It's by design that the system is rolled out every year as "A driver bids a start time not a route". Well let's take a closer look at this statement, it's XPO's ballgame and they control the entire ballgame. Local management can make ANY driver appear as though they are overly productive or not productive on the dock and in the P&D environment. Give a dockworker tasks outside of moving freight and BOOM, there goes his motor move numbers. Give a driver numerous handoff deliveries and once again BOOM, there goes the stop per hour numbers. So, the moral of this thread is that XPO puts their favorites where they want by FAVORITISM not by true production numbers. Runs are created to personalize them to a so called favorite. I've seen at multiple service centers where individuals are on routes for 10 years or more and I have asked why that is. The answer I get is, that driver knows that task better than anyone else. I'm pretty certain after a short period of time anyone can complete a given route or task efficiently if given that task. It's really not rocket science. My question is, how versatile to the company is that individual if that's all he does? Or should we determine that's all they want to do? Routes should be delegated out as they are created and by seniority. Let's fix this and strive for true production numbers, success for all of us, and for a profitable XPO.
