Bad peak, bad plan, bad weather...a perfect storm?

No problems here. Very few service failures. Not a single day that has been too bad. Ground is running smooth. Plenty of spare trucks and drivers sitting around looking for work. We were over prepared.

Boy I thought my center was alone with the craziness. Normally have 6 trailers come in and the other day we had 11. Preload has been starting at 130 every morning. It has been taking them forever just to run the send agains. Monday we must have had 1000 ECs. There were a lot of unhappy people coming into work Tuesday morning. Seems like the staffing issues are across the board. We have less people on my shift now than we did in June. Absolute miracle we pull on time or only a couple minutes late. It's getting pretty extreme. If they don't start hiring more people we are going to really be in trouble. I expected a whole bunch of people for peak (this is my first one), but we have been nothing but mega short.
