[QUOTE="Mike Hawk, post: 452541, member: 14667"] No disrespect for anyone, but this guy is partially right, UPS screwed up this time really bad. Yes the weather is out of our control, but bad weather is no excuse for incompetence in dealing with it. UPS could have ran weekend sorts to catch up on backed up volume, but that would have cost them double time on Sunday, didn't happen. At my center our air has been late every day, usually around 9:30, it doesn't get dispatched till the next day and gets scanned as EC even though it could have been shuttled like any other day, they just don't have the man power because they short staffed themselves. Management put any package they could that didn't get delivered in the EC trailers, late air sometimes, whole routes other times, left in building, anything that didn't make service, total lack of honesty there. If they were more honest about what they locked in the trailers there might be only 2-3 instead of 5 trailers, which could have been sorted through to make Xmas gifts available for pickup before Xmas, but no they are sealed until next week. 12 hour curfew for all employees means insiders can't go out as helpers so drivers with sick helpers or simply not enough helpers are not delivering as much as they can(with a helper). Curfews on PT supes means the local sort can't finish their sort so the preload does, now the preload finishes an hour after the driver start time, an hour less stops delivered. The PT supes force me to brickload the heaviest resi truck with 550 stops and 800+ pieces because they are trying to limit the number of trailers they roll, but none of the drivers will finish anyways so adding work just means more send agains. Now this guy will deliver 200 stops digging through his truck all day rather than 300 if he wasn't brickloaded and could move around in his truck. I could go on and on but you all get the point, UPS management didn't start this mess, but they made it much bigger than it needed to be. [/QUOTE]
