All drivers will work Thursday......

[Overpaid Union Thug]

We will be using all drives Thursday including TCD's. With the volume we are expecting I don't see why management would allow any drivers off outside of personal or family emergencies.

I had a FT supervisor text me Christmas eve asking me if I wanted to work a double Thursday morning. I had local HR call me the night before trying to get me to work a Sunrise sort Thursday, as well. I've worked 60 hours/week in the hub since Thanksgiving.

Keep this coming. Daddy needs a new pair of Redwings and has student loan payments due; I know that 3.5 hour/day diet is right around the corner.

Your center might have cleared, but the rest of us will be delivering what we didn't clear yesterday.

I'll easily be working a ten hour day tomorrow.

Ten hours will seem like half a day!

Jesus was born in October.
Christians stole Xmas from the pagans.

I talk to him every morning and we never talk about when he was born. We talk about my problems how much I love him and my gratitude for him. I'm glad he came by and passed through. I'm glad he came back three days later for me. I'm glad as kid when I was down on my luck my grandma Crilley introduced me to him. God is great and he watches over me even though I might not always deserve it. I'm blessed.

Merry Christmas.

What's a couple of months over a period of 2000 years?

The evidence I've seen indicated March anyway.

It really doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that he is Lord and Savior.

I already have 22 hours of OT this week--10 from working on Sunday, plus 14 hour days on Monday and Tuesday. We will all work 12+hours on Thursday and Friday just to clean up all of our missed packages. Fine by me...I'm going to keep milking that big brown money teat until nothing comes out but air.

As a devout atheist I disagree.

Finally an honest Atheist ... who admits their devoutness.

I'll be happy to work for those who don't want or need the work on Thursday and Friday.

Is the relaxed commit over?

I hope not. I sure do love the chaos.

I don't plan on going in till the 6th. You should be able to get 55-60 a week.

There is a backlog in much of the country, right? Won't we get hit with some of that Thursday? I remember being told, "Feeders is a 24/7/365 operation." Something was moving, even on Christmas; those drivers just get "Christmas" another day, right? In any case, we were warned that Friday and the beginning of next week will be hard.

Why even worry about how heavy it is. If our dispatch looks like we will be in under 10-11 hours its route cutting time so what difference does it make? Been like that for 2-3 years now

From UPS.com:

Just got off the phone withthe vented and they told me my start time 11:30. When I told my wife she asked "11:30 to 11:30?"

It's 24/7/365 because our trailers are always moving, usually on the rail. Very few is by drivers.

Most problems UPS had this peak were weather related.
Companies that stay in business do not overbuild capacity for 4 -5 days excess need per year.

Bull. Some problems this peak were weather related. Most problems this peak were poor execution of poor planning.

On a different note, being retired, was not this your first Peak not having to work? If so, I hope you and your family had a great Holiday. You`ve earned it.

The only stuff I saw today was closed businesses from Tuesday and some new air pieces. Most cars were comparatively empty, and most drivers will be working straight hours rather than their guarantee.

Lol I would say I am one but I have no idea how one is devout in believing in nothing.

How can that be?
This is a NATIONAL problem.
What is wrong with your locations?
