[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1214653, member: 11246"] ALL FACTS: 1) UPS has already said 1 ice storm this peak would be hard to make up do to the shorter period between Thanksgiving and Christmas. 2) There are fewer days between thanksgiving and Christmas. 3) UPS executives have stated that there plan is to cram more work on us and that this peak raises the stakes if there in a disruption. 4) UPS is not hiring more seasonal hires then they did last year. 5) UPS predicts that Holiday shipments will be up 8% 6) UPS predicts peak day to be December 16th. Do I believe that volume will be up 30%? I believe that there is a probability that volume could reach up to 30% more on or around peak day compared to last year. Will it be 30% all peak? probably not. Fact is tho, UPS is going to expect us to do more with less time and less help. Scott Davis said it himself that they are going to cram the work in. So take that for what it is...... my frustration on this thread is that UpDick using his abrasive personality to challenge good math. I am all for challenging the theory of more work on us at UPS, but not the actual math. He clearly stated my math was wrong, and even went to the length of comparing my math to a sale. My math might of have used assumed numbers, but that wasn't what he was challenging. He challenged me on my math, and clearly doesn't have the nut sack to admit that his analogy of a sale does nothing to strengthen his argument. Any case, I stand by my belief that this will be the most challenging peak to date. We will be on the edge of a system wide failure. I know that my center CAN NOT take anymore volume that what we have dealt with in the past. Add less days between thanksgiving and christmas we are going to struggle this peak. Only time will tell. friend-Upstate. [/QUOTE]
