[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1241354, member: 11246"] Scott Davis said pre peak that volume would be up. He stated that it was the shortest period between Turkey day and Christmas. He stated that they would staff with the same number of seasonal hires as 2012, and cram more work into fewer days, which "could make the network run more efficiently". He also stated an ice storm during peak would be hard to make up. Yea, that is a great CEO. Taking a gamble on weather. How did that cramming thing work out Scott? How about the role of the dice with the weather? How much did UPS save by hiring the same number of seasonal hires this peak as you had in 2012? [B]"If you get an ice storm in Louisville one of those days, it's going to be hard to make up for," [/B] [B]"UPS executives said that this year's late Thanksgiving holiday, Nov. 28, will be a challenge. Cramming holiday shipments into fewer days could make the network run more efficiently, they said, but it raises the stakes if there's a disruption."[/B] [B] [url]http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ups-more-doubles-3q-profit-121827804.html[/url][/B] [/QUOTE]
