Anyone else really heavy the past 2 weeks?

We are starting to see lighter volume. Not lighter loads! We just cut 8 cars every day and slam the other 32 guys. Ten hour day yesterday, and my buddy spent the day at the unemployment office.

Damn thats crazy going from 40 to 32 routes. My center usually has 30 routes in. Our center explodes if they cut out one route much less 20% of the routes.

I will have to say that this is as light of volume that I can remember in my 23 years at UPS. With only 7 routes running out of our satellite center, so it is hard for them to cut a route or I am sure they would. We still seem to be covering the same amount of stops and miles but the total number of packages is lacking.

One thing for sure is that my rural routes have picked up over the last several months. Not sure if high cost of gas is the reason or people getting ready for Spring. I am covering the whole scope of my route almost everyday.
