Hopefully I'll have the same helper I had for the majority of last peak...older guy, doesn't chatter, hard worker, this will be his 5th peak.
I think he does it for fun (it sure can't be for the money).
Fingers crossed! With a good helper, I don't care how many stops they load the truck up with, I dress for the weather, have a good flashlight, and get paid by the hour.
center manager reiterated the DOT rules about hours of service and said that quite a few of us would be bumping the ceiling...lol.
Dispatch super-hero (I mean that, this guy rocks) told me we're forecast at 1 gabillion packages for Monday, something like 130% of last year this time.
I say bring it on. More stops in a tighter area, I love it!
Peak is fun, at least I try to make it that way, turn it into a game and just go with it.
Brown Santa's, charge!
(Hopefully it won't turn into The Charge of the Light Brigade....)
