I keep hearing different explanations as to UPS's stance on team run operations. Some say that UPS is looking to do away with team runs, while others say that UPS is planning to keep team runs. I have recently been reclassified as a dock/CDL and I am waiting for things to open back up here in Portland, OR. However, with exception to only one of our driver's, we have all been waiting for something more than just team runs out of Portland, OR. I really feel for our drivers here because after UPS came into the picture, they lost almost all of their day-cab bid runs and were left with mostly team runs.
And, at this point I am hearing that Portland may or may not continue to operate with team runs. I really want to stick it out here but part of me fears that Portland may see nothing more than team runs, and I just do not want to run teams for 20 years or more. I have asked my ops manager, terminal manager, and even some of the central dispatchers what they know of this and no one seems to have an answer. Does anyone on these boards know of an answer to this question?
And, to those of you that run a team bid, my hat goes off to you. I mean no disrespect with this inquery. I have nothing but respect for those of you who chose to do teams on a constant basis.
