LOL - that is why I don't take any vacation until the end of March.
I really hate it when the call this weather a wintry mix - sounds like a delicious snack
If you look close at weather for the late reason I think it says, Severe Weather on Area. It's been over a year since I've had a Diad in my hands so that may have changed. We had a center manager that wanted weather used when he put out a bad dispatch if there was any snow in the air. Our AM shuttle driver pointed out to him that the Gateway would tag all the packages if in fact there were weather issues with late arrivals to the Center.
Bring on spring!

I don't know about the dermatologist but:
Cars are driven by Q-tips. (can't you see the little white puff of hair above the seat back?)
Maybe road construction NEVER ends but............ in the Northeast we have 2 seasons, winter and road construction.

We had a planeload of air get to our hub at 2:30 yesterday. By the time it was ran through the system and got sorted out, it was too late to carry it out to the drivers for meet points. I got in at 4:15 and I had to put it on the belt so it could be loaded in a retain trailer for delivery today. We had another late plane today, but somebody ran the late air out to me and I got it at 10:45 A little bit better.

Ended up getting an air meet at 230 pm today. Does that even make sense? And worse thing about it, we were in the middle of the ice storm as well. I could understand a late plane because of Louisville weather leading to an air meet BUT we were all struggling around here with driveways, ice, snow and just to help us, here's another 10 stops and backtrack your way to get them done.
The only conclusion I have come up with is that this is an attempt to make sure a route gets cut the next day. Thats why we have been getting these ridiculous air meets frequently. With the economy, they use the excuse to get rid of as many stops as possible. I'm familiar with the concept of saving money, but why screw all your drivers when we're dealing with some adversity as well. They've done this with ground in the past as well. Its not about the customers or commits, just plain scroogness (just made up the word
)
I'm ranting because I punched out at 11 hrs. Can't wait for some blue skies tomorrow !!!
