[QUOTE="notlookingback, post: 471469, member: 18185"] I posted something similar in another thread regarding lessons UPS should learn from the peak weather.... Every center team should have a set snow plan. It's not rocket science to figure out ahead of time which neighborhoods are a lost cause in snow. Drivers & Sups should know which arterials will be sanded/salted/plowed and open for business. Centers should have a PAS snow plan queued up and ready in DPS throughout the winter. It's stupid to send all of your drivers out on their normal routes when you know some drivers will be 10% effective in the snow (bring back 90% of their stops) while others are up to 75% effective. It depends on the terrain. Send out all your drivers, but send them to the areas that are deliverable. Let your rural resi driver stay downtown and take work off the in-town business routes. No one's going to run the same SPORH when there's ice in every parking lot. At least you'll stay clean in the deliverable areas during the snow. Put the "lost cause" volume in retain trailers until the weather improves. Sigh.... I'll stop ranting now. [/QUOTE]
