Have your stores changed the truck days in 2024

[Noiinteam]

So TWICE this week the DC did not send trucks because they could not fill them. Tomorrow’s truck is 1260. In my 13 years I believe that is a first and I couldn’t be happier! We all are. We shall enjoy this while it lasts. We are a 60 65 million store.

 

[nevermind]

I know not of no truck days. We get one every day. Two 3 times a week(not counting pfresh). Usually mon, wed, and fri. January and no payroll to cover that workload is horrible now. No pro-active thinking from GM/ETL/TL to mitigate this issue.

You must work at my store. No payroll & and no pro-active thinking (aka MANAGEMENT).

 

[nevermind]

Nothing has been communicated at my store. Truck ain’t going to unload itself

And yet they continue to think the truck IS going to unload itself -- or else they would schedule bodies to unload it. But, nah, why actually perform management?

 

[nevermind]

Sounds like your team likes a corporate job with Monday-Friday which is insane . This is retail we talking about . Your team is going to find themself that they are all replaceable. All the store have to do is let them all leave , talk to DSD that the store is hard to staff , offer a 2 $ more just for inbound and you will see that there will be people to unload that truck .

I wish my SD would do this. We all need a buck or two more -- it's hard to keep good help. Labor pool extremely limited -- both size and IQ.

Our no truck days are typically a Sunday, Thursday.

That was what ours used to be. Now it's Monday and Friday no truck day.

I wouldn’t know . Never have I had a no truck day , and when a double would be canceled , I would call to add it back .

How does everyone feel about the new way of rating team members this year?

more details, please.

more details, please.

Team members scores will be from 1-10 which I find ridiculous

I'm sure the answer is No, but I'm still going to ask:

Does that mean raises will also be a range to align with a 1-10 rating?

Probably 1 to 10 cents based on the number.

Not sure where you got this info but I just double checked the APP SharePoint and PG 35 is still calibrated using the 3-box.

From my former leaders . Apparently they had to take a training on it first .

Yeah I’ve also taken my APP training. Definitely not true.

Good . That would have been stupid .

Sounds like they somehow mixed up level 1-10 reviews with pg35 ratings.

Another week, another Friday truck not sent because dc couldn’t fill. I feel we will be screwed at some point in time.

Of course you will , just because it’s canceled doesn’t mean it won’t come . In fact it will come in a form of 2 trucks and say here is your additional 50h to get both trucks done . But by then it won’t be time for you to add the non-existing team to unload those 2 trucks .
That’s why the way to sustain trucks to come clean is that your schedule for double should be the same for a single .

Targets reviews are ridiculous. I think last year we were given a 1, 2, or 3. I know several team members who never even received their reviews last year.

Couldn't fill?

Does that mean no product and/or no one to load the truck?

I wasn't given a review just a piece of paper with my miniscule raise which I wadded up and threw away in front of my TL.

Who knows. I asked the unload tl and he was told couldn’t fill. Three times in 2 weeks. Very unusual. We have not had any doubles to make up cancelled trucks. We shall see.

Usually it means your store is underperforming the sales forecast so the dc hasn't had as many orders to load onto your trailer as HQ forecasted weeks ago.

That makes sense. I’ll see if we’re comping up or not.

 

[SigningLady]

We've had the same thing happen over the last few weeks as well. DC cancels the truck but then my SD adds it back in so we're not stuck with a double or a very large single later. It's allowed us to have some "smaller" trucks this way.
